I don’t usually have much to say about products that we purchase. Good ones are far and few between. Too often, they don’t accomplish their intended purpose and are not worth the price. But I recently came across another exception.

We have aluminum patio furniture that seemed to have seen its better days. It was just as useful as ever, but it just didn’t look good. The finish was dull and, in some cases, cloudy. Replacing it would be expensive, but the truth is the new stuff would not be as well built. I toyed with the idea of painting it. But the question of what paint to use and uncertainty about how much we would like or dislike the change in finish made me reluctant. So, I did what I usually do. I went the Internet and discovered a remarkable product—Aluminum Restoration Solution. You can buy the product on Amazon by going to https://amzn.to/2HrgT3F.

After treatment, my old patio furniture looks brand new!

The product description reads as follows:

RESTORE, PROTECT, & SHINE: Aluminum restoration solution from AL-NEW removes chalky oxidation on painted aluminum, anodized aluminum, and fiberglass surfaces impacted by exposure to heat and UV. Astounding results are achieved in just a single wipe, instantly restoring color, shine, and luster to previously faded metal surfaces.
DEEP CLEANING: Aluminum Restoration Solution cleans and removes chalky oxidation from aluminum and other painted metals in a single pass. Once dried, the product leaves a coating of corrosion protection for the treated surface. Astounding results are achieved in just a single wipe, instantly restoring color, shine, and luster to previously faded aluminum surfaces.
EASY TO USE: Just wipe it on with a microfiber cloth and instantly remove years of aluminum oxidation. AL-NEW doesn't require pre-cleaning, stripping, or masking.

It really was easy to use even with my post-surgery arm (ten weeks following shoulder replacement). I did use rubber gloves, and rather than microfiber I just use a soft cotton cloth. I just lightly wipe the solution on, and the transformation occurred. No hard rubbing, needed.
