We get this question a lot. Acid rain, chemicals, magnesium chloride from road de-icing, and other materials are caustic to a new aluminum surface. In fact, polished mirror finish or mill finish will begin corroding almost on contact creating nasty streaks and stains. These streaks and stains can be removed by polishing the surface. Future streaking and staining can be prevented by coating the polished equipment with AlumaClear® or covering it with AlumaWrapp®.
