Cleaning Checker Plate
Anyone got any tips on cleaning aluminium checker plate? I decided that I should clean the side steps on the 4WD, but using Brasso and a rag is taking a ridiculous amount of time!

CT18..... leave it on for a while then scrub off with a brush, but make sure to give it a good wash after, I know its alkaline .... but thats why it works

Chemtech (who makes CT 18 and also CT20) make an alloy cleaner called Aluclean (or is it Alubrite, Alushine or Alloyshine? ..something like that, cant remember zactly)
thats is specifically for alloy bullbars checker sidesteps etc
GOTTA LUV the 12R!!
