Salt Damage on Sled

snopro · Jan 11, 2019

Hey guys ! Picked up a really nice low km 2016 Skidoo Tundra off a buddy for my grandkids when they come to the farm. Just doing a spit and polish on it and noticed some salt grime on the aluminum tunnel. Tried a couple things but can't make the tunnel look new again. Any ideas?

I use some aluminum acid, buy it here at Lordco. Be very careful as it will bleach the aluminum white. I’m a full strength kinda guy but you could start by watering it down in a squirt bottle.
I spray it on with some agitation then wash off,strips most of the salt damage on my aluminum flat decks.
buff to shine with a good aluminum polish.

Most truck stops or greggs distributing sells trailer brightener- that product works very well.

Muriatic Acid, it's cheap and works fast.
