On the fence with buying this product. Has anyone determined why all the negatives relate to turning their aluminum white? If so how do you keep them from turning white?

Keep in mind, a factory finish can not be duplicated! All aluminum cleaners etch or bleach the surface. The issues of aluminum whiting can be reduced by how you reduce product with water (5/1 or 3/1 etc.). Add most important rinsing the foam activation off from top to bottom before foam bigins to dry. I highly recommend starting at 3/1, test on a blind area, rinse foam when it's still wet. Additionally, preperation, a good mix and having everything ready including enough product mixed consistently, unwanted areas covered and either a good garden nozzle or preferably a pressue washer ready for rising off foam before drying.

I used it on brand new semi tanks for extra cleaning and it turned them white. Thank goodness I did a small area. White never came out. I trashed the bottle! That's my 2 cents!

If this product is allowed to dry on work surface, whitening will occur. I would recomend using it in a shaded area.

Remember never to dish wash exposed aluminum, the detergent will rust and dull the metal. What you can do is to polish it very well with some steel wool and soap. It should get back to its original shine.

Your biggest challenge will be light pollution. The product is great, but you need a dark setting to see the effect, particularly the colored ones. I would use a UV light if you want it visible. Best product though, you won't find better.

another prblem with now is the aluminum foil seal...it breaks apart and presents an extreme risk. each time a perzon screws lid on of off the_ aluminum stuck to top of jar sh reds and could drol into thee powder and then into your dink".this is not good:^)

Hi Annie, have not used the white one yet. But the colored ones I bought seem color fast. I had some stubborn oil stains that came out after I used hot water and mild bleach. I always bleach my whites.... so if and when I will bleach. Hope this helps

I like this color a lot, especially with two coats. It's pale but not white. I am not impressed with the durability of Vinylux at all. Mine never stays on beyond 3 days, it chips and peels too easily. Are you happy with the product in general?

This issue has been raised by competing brands, but I've not seen the concern raised else where. I took a chance and have seen no ill effects, but have no further information. Have you contacted the manufacturer?

I have. Best result apply and let dry overnight almost like crumbles the next day. Wipe away with a damp cloth. This is the only thing, and I've tried everything, that has made mine white again. I used in my kitchen too!

A friend and i just did a project and where able to get a bright white. I am not sure if or how much the color you will be covering impact the final outcome. Ours was a fairly light shade of tan.One note on the tintable already being white. That is what we thought as well. Shot one of the bottles before we realized it was not covering with any real color. Added the paint per instructions and achieved a great white finish.

It's not white, more like amber before using. It turns clear when it is used and cooled.Hope this help you.Aloha, Calvin

I've had aluminum one for 8 months and have not had that problem. I checked it today and see no signs of a problem.

You can use aluminum check out any brew forums! I'd like to drive a BMW instead of a Ford but I can't afford that either.

You should watch the video on how they are made. Shows the casring of the aluminum and coating process. Sold me. Then I bought and I could not be happier.

Have you tried White Bright? I just read about it in a blog and found it here on Amazon. It says it can do this, in the description, Going to try it for something white with a red stain that also bled. Let me know if you found something that works though? Thanks! : )

Mine is also pearly white and it doesn't seem as effective! I am very disappointed. Why do they always change things that work? Very frustrated!
