The SS for Alloy brushes are for surface refinishing of aluminium alloy. They remove firmly baked on deposits and corrosion from alloy without leaving unsightly scratches or obliterating extremely fine detail and texture. Will reach in between fins to expose bare metal on cylinder walls and around exhaust outlets. Excellent for producing a lustrous well cared for look on cast crankcases and heads, the fine bristle tips get right into the tiny pits and depressions in the surface. The mode of action is best described as end-on agitation. See the link to the Instructions Sheet below for more information on refinishing.

Suitable for use on any type of alloy casting which is not highly polished, or anodised.
