It removes oxidation and stains while providing a durable protective barrier against UV rays and grime. Easy to apply by hand or buffer, it ensures a long-lasting, lustrous finish with annual maintenance. Trusted since 1973, this American-made formula keeps your boat looking pristine and protected season after season. ## Description Aluminum surfaces need special care and treatment in order to maintain their shine, which is why you need Star brite Ultimate Aluminum Polish with PTEF. Formulated specifically for use on aluminum, Star brite Ultimate Aluminum Polish with PTEF creates a barrier against dirt and stains as well as UV rays that can cause a once-shiny surface to become dull and lifeless. The PTEF Polymers bond to the treated areas, sealing it against grime and stains. Note: If aluminum is dirty or stained, first treat it with Star brite Ultimate Aluminum Cleaner/Restorer, then apply Ultimate Aluminum Polish with PTEF to protect and maintain the restored finish. Star brite Aluminum Polish with PTEF is also very effective at removing white stains left when hull cleaners are not completely rinsed from surface. Directions: Clean thoroughly as directed and allow the cleaned surface to dry. Star brite Aluminum Polish will neutralize any remaining acids and seal the aluminum with a protective coating and a more uniform shine. Step 1. Shake the bottle well. Apply evenly with a clean, dry cloth working in small areas in a circular, overlapping motion to ensure uniform coverage. Rub it in well; the polish works while wet, so reapply to the cloth as needed. Star brite Aluminum Polish may be applied by hand or with a buffer. Discoloration on the cloth indicates oxidation is being removed. Replace the cloth as often as needed to avoid rubbing oxidation back onto the clean surface. Step 2. Once the polish dries to a haze, buff the treated area with a clean, soft, dry cloth. Replace the cloth as needed. Chalky, oxidized surfaces may require repeat applications. Apply Star brite Ultimate Aluminum Polish annually to reduce oxidation build-up for a lasting shine with minimal effort. Review: Good polish - I use it on an aluminum centre board to keep it clean and fast. Review: Great on pontoon boats - This stuff is amazing. I spray it on my pontoons in the spring to clean them up and hose off a half hour later. No scrubbing. If there are any stubborn areas, spray, leave it on and hose off. ## Features - Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects. - MARINE-GRADE SHINE & PROTECTION - Specially designed for unpainted bare aluminum surfaces like pontoons, jon boats, and canoes, ensuring a lasting lustrous finish - ADVANCED UV & STAIN DEFENSE - Formulated with polymers to provide UV protection and repel stains, maintaining the aesthetic appeal and integrity of your boat - FOR DULL OR STAINED SURFACES - First treat with Star brite Aluminum Cleaner/Restorer, then use this polish to shine, seal and preserve - EFFORTLESS APPLICATION - Easy to apply with an electric buffer, it ensures uniform coverage and a high-quality finish with minimal effort - ANNUAL MAINTENANCE SOLUTION - Designed for annual application to reduce oxidation buildup, saving time and effort in maintaining your vessel - OXIDATION & TARNISH REMOVAL - Expertly removes light oxidation, restoring the uniform, deep shine that elevates the look of restored aluminum boats, ensuring satisfaction in every application - PROUDLY AMERICAN, TRUSTED WORLDWIDE - Since 1973, STAR BRITE has delivered top-quality marine, auto, RV, home, and outdoor products, all crafted in the USA for lasting performance ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00EVIJNLY | | Best Sellers Rank | 81,263 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) 48 in Boat Cleaners | | Brand | STAR BRITE | | Compatible Material | Aluminium | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 1,404 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00071247876161 | | Grit Material Type | Aluminium Oxide | | Grit Number | 60 | | Grit material | Aluminium Oxide | | Grit number | 60 | | Included Components | Star Brite 087616 Ultimate Aluminum Polish W/Ptef | | Item Dimensions | 44 x 89 x 210 millimetres | | Item Type Name | Star Brite 087616 Ultimate Aluminum Polish W/Ptef | | Item Weight | 13 Ounces | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 44 x 89 x 210 millimetres | | Item weight | 13 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Star brite | | Manufacturer Part Number | 087616 | | Material | Aluminium Oxide | | Model Number | 87616 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | UPC | 071247876161 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** STAR BRITE - **Grit Material:** Aluminum,Polymers - **Grit Type:** Medium - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 1.75 x 3.5 x 8.25 inches - **Material:** Plastic ## Images ![Star Brite 087616 Ultimate Aluminum Polish W/Ptef - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71BcnOY+-nL.jpg) ![Star Brite 087616 Ultimate Aluminum Polish W/Ptef - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91-eNj8qsCS.jpg) ![Star Brite 087616 Ultimate Aluminum Polish W/Ptef - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81q+RDgOGIL.jpg) ![Star Brite 087616 Ultimate Aluminum Polish W/Ptef - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/819HEw58OUL.jpg) ![Star Brite 087616 Ultimate Aluminum Polish W/Ptef - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81G0yFx2j-L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: My 6” Wen electric buffer has a microfiber pad. Is this ok or should I use a different material? I will be using this to polish pontoons.** A: Yes, this would be perfectly fine. **Q: I’ve sanded the floor of my jon boat to bare metal. Will Star bride polish protect against corrosion?** A: I would think it would. I would probably do two coats in case of a missed spot or two. Just be careful about getting it where you walk because I think if your feet are wet you would slip rather quickly. In thst case put some of the non slip adhesive backed sandpaper looking stuff. I have it on my wheel covers and the trailer tongue. **Q: Will 1 bottle polish both pontoons?** A: Of course it would depend on size of your boat but I did a 15 foot all aluminum and used about a 1/4 of the bottle. The more times you go over it the better it looks. My opinion one would do you. **Q: Is this product good to use?** A: Yes, this product is good to use per the directions on the label. Since 1973, Star brite has guaranteed satisfaction with all of our products.

Pretty caustic so wear PPE. ## Frequently Bought Together - STAR BRITE Ultimate Aluminum Polish - 16 OZ (087616) - STAR BRITE Scrubber/Medium (Red) (040021P) - STAR BRITE Ultimate Aluminum Protectant - 22 OZ (080922P) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/273629398-star-brite-087616-ultimate-aluminum-polish-w-ptef](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/273629398-star-brite-087616-ultimate-aluminum-polish-w-ptef) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-14*
