Aluminum Brightener
Aluminum Brightener does exactly what it sounds like – it brightens aluminum, steel and other metals.

400 Wax
Added to a final rinse, this long-lasting, liquid wax creates a durable finish that improves a vehicle’s
appearance and keeps dirt from adhering to the surface. It gives added protection against salt, air pollution and acid rain. This is a highly economical wax.
