Algex & Alumabrite can both be applied between 35"F - 2"C and 80"F - 27"C. The lower the temperature, the slower the cleaning and brightening will be and the longer you will have to wait. The higher the temperature the faster the action but when the temperature is at the higher range, you also have to be careful that the products do not evaporate before they have had a chance to work.
When working with Algex, it's helpful to cover the area with plastic to prevent evaporation and allow the chemical to work long enough to remove the growth. When working with Alumabrite, it's important to do a test in an inconspicuous spot to determine the right concentration and amount of time to leave the product on. If it starts to dry before you rinse it off, you will get streaks. If left on too long, especially in elevated temperatures, it will turn the aluminum white.
When you are through cleaning your aluminum, consider protecting it with Alumetron. This clear coating is easy to apply, very durable and will keep your aluminum looking clean and shiny for years. It's not an anti-fouling. To reduce the attachment of marine growth you need VS721.

How ALGEX™ Works:
ALGEX™ works by quickly penetrating and breaking the bond between the algae and the aluminum so it can be easily and completely removed by pressure washing or scrubbing and rinsing with a garden hose. It also softens Barnacle, Zebra and Quagga Mussel shells and adhesive to make removal by scraping easier.
Other Places ALGEX™ Can Be Used:
ALGEX™ can also be used for cleaning and brightening galvanized trailers and for removing hard water spots from fiberglass boats. ALGEX™ is an aluminum boat cleaner invented for removing marine growth and is not a brightener such as ALUMABRITE™. It does not protect against marine fouling. For that you require VS721™ BOTTOM COAT.
ALGEX™ is SAFE To Use
Won't darken aluminum Or stainless steel or cause pin holes. Won't damage Aluminum Casings or Remove Paint. Recommended for Removing Algae and softening Barnacles & Zebra Mussels for easy scraping aluminum boat bottoms, aluminum pontoons, Outboards, Sterndrives and propellers.

This product is amazing. It did what it said and what it showed in your Website. I was surprised with the product. One pontoon is Clean as if it never had anything on it. I'm reordering another bottle right now for the other pontoon and will be ordering again next year, maybe 4 bottles to save me shipping. Thanks.
