HEY GUYS ? ANYONE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE LOWER PART OF THEIR ENGINE CASE CORODING ?????

ON MY '05 CHOPPER , I DON'T HAVE THE FULL POLISHED MOTOR AND THE LOWER PART OF THE CASES ARE GETTING A HAZY, BROWN, RUSTED LOOKING FILM ON THEM ?? JUST WASHING WON'T TAKE IT OFF. NOT TRIED A POLISH OR CLEANER YET. I KNOW THAT ALUMINUM CAN OXIDIZE BUT NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS. ANY IDEAS ??

Try using that Wizards metal polish and then they have a sealer that helps keep that shine longer. If it is really bad....use the Wizards Metal Renew. I ordered all of my stuff from Vickie at KC Kreations.....10% off and free shipping! You can also ask her about anything and if she doesn't know the answer, she will find out

Aluminum oxidation would be white and powdery, nothing like rust. Rust is oxidized iron.

I tried to use aluminum polish to bring mine back and even used the dremel with the polishing kit...made it shiny, but still stained...does this metal renew stuff work that good???
