Does anybody here have any experience finishing a corroded piece of aluminum?
I have a few pieces of jalousie windows that need to be cleaned up.They all have lots of corrosion on the surface. In fact upon first glance it looks like you could wipe if off with some sand paper or scotch bright pads, but it just simply won't come off.
I have read on the internet that hydrochloric acid will remove corroded parts of aluminum, but this leaves the aluminum dark gray in color.
So do any of you restoration specialists have any answers? I can provide a picture of the corroded piece if necessary.
