brickman Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 aluminium if un painted oxidises constantly eg if you clean it with a srubber it will form a dull oxidised layer with in minutes evey time you srubb the oxidies layer off in will reform and in doing this you are reducung the thickness gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelican Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Some people continuiously pollish their ally boats to keep that new look - beats me why they bought nan ally one to spend all that effort as they may as well bought a wooden painted ones if they wanted maintainance. If you want the ally to look lik enew all the time there is a nialac ( spelling) coating which is clear and put on at some factories - but hell it scratches just like any other coating so............
