Those of you washing fleet vehicles know that hydrofluoric acid is the fastest aluminum cleaner/two-step acid available. Our hydrofluoric acid product is Aluma Brite.
Caution must be used when using products like this. Hydrofluoric acid that comes in contact with your skin will dive underneath your skin and head straight for your bones looking for calcium. Any exposure can be fatal.
We recommend caution when you use Aluma Brite, and advise every customer to purchase a tube of special First Aid ointment along with the product. This special ointment contains loads of calcium, which causes the acid to reverse direction and start heading back towards your skin (away from your bones). This simple ointment is expensive, but it will buy you a lot of precious time for medical efforts to save your life.
As an alternative, we have a much safer, less aggressive acid cleaner called Aluma Safe.
Be careful out there.
