Sheila Shine Cleaner.

[roadrunnertex]

I have heard about Sheila Shine Cleaner for many years and what it will do to make a old GMC Coach look better.
Well another GM owner bought some and tried it on his Buffalo and he said it works and I should try it.
So I bought a 1 gallon can and the directions state use a very small amount on a soft cotton cloth (Old Sock) worked for me.
I applied the Sheila Shine on the old siding and it worked great.
Makes the old Buffalo look a few years younger after wiping it down might not be as new looking as a new Prevost but it sure looks nicer than it use to look.
No I don't own stock in Shelia Shine Cleaner just passing along an idea that worked quite well.

Hi John,

When I saw your post I was trying to figure where I first heard about Sheila Shine, I still can't remember!  Glad to see it worked for you. Bring the reamaining portion to TBR and we'll have some more fun and you can show me how it works!

OK, this sounds almost too good to be true. Can you tell us where you bought it? What the package might look like? I have never heard of it before and would like to give it a try.

McGuires? Which product has worked for you to clean the old aluminum?

All -

Before using this, you might want to read the MSDS for Shelia Shine:

Just thinking about fellow busnut's good health here. . .

RJ,

THANK YOU!!!!  I am one of those that will disregard some of those warnings with little provocation.  I know, I know, not smart and I am not nearly as cavalier as I seem to most.  Still, I have never put on rubber gloves to wash or wax my car or RV. 

This info convinces me that I should read the label a little more closely.  And you are a conservative from Kalifornia, right?  I guess that makes perfect sense, your being concerned for your neighbor's well fare and safety and all.  One thing that has been on my mind lately is that I am probably more sensitive to these poisons, being older, than I ever was before.  I know I am giving better advice to younger people....more conservative advice, in fact.

Thanks again.

John Z,

I am sure that McGuires has a superb product for cleaning and another for polishing Al.  Just from my experience with that product line to date.  I am sure it would be very expensive for the volumous applications such as we would have.  I spoke earlier about a "acid solution" that I learned about from a Ryder Rental cleaning contractor.  He bought the stuff in gallon jugs and a jug made 55 gallons of cleaner or some such dilution.  Maybe it was 20 to 1.....don't recall the numbers specifically.  You dilute the stuff and spray it on the crusty grey alu and a few minutes later you just spray it off with water.  Brilliant!  I also hear people referring to a Alu wheel cleaning process at the truck washing places called "acid wash" for cleaning and then having the rim buffed. The costs I have heard quoted seem very inexpensive and I guess they should be if the place only sprays an inexpensive solution on the rims and washes it off promptly.

HTH,

John
