I haven't used it on anything metal, but I really don't think it would have any problems doing any kind of job. So far mine has worked great for my needs.

It depends on what you are trying to clean I suppose. I would recommend aluminum polish if you want a true shine with aluminum. Aluminum polish has ultra fine grit in its polishes. The back of the bottle specifically says "Weiman stainless steel cleaner and polish is specially formulated to clean, shine and polish stainless steel. Removes fingerprints, smudges, residue and grease. Protective coating repels dust and dirt. Leaves a brilliant streak-free shine." so I would say no, don't waste the money. Go get an aluminum polish but ask an associate based on what you are trying to clean, and be sure you're actually right thinking it is aluminum... Wear gloves and a microfiber cloth you are OK parting with when using aluminum polish. Otherwise, you will have the black oxidation layers all over your hands. Hope this helps!

You can look it up online but to be honest it shouldn't matter if its aluminum or not. I have used it on aluminum and non aluminum alike and never had an issue. I believe the warnings only takes precedence in extreme cases where your radiator is already too corroded to recover using products like this. In witch case you can purchase the aluminum safe permatex brand flush. This product is great though, works wonders.

If its brushed stainless I don't know how well it will clean it. But on smooth metals it is a great cleaner,polish. I have tried numerous different metal polishes on my motorcycle,and this is the best I've used so far.

I use Maas on all my metals except aluminum. You don't need much, but plenty of rags for a bed frame. What the Maas doesn't remove use bar keepers friend, actually you can just use the bar keeper friend but it won't polish it up as nicely as Maas or keep it from tarnishing as quickly. Use the bar keeper with a sponge or soft cloth and don't rub it with a lot of force. I have used it on my Paul Revere cookware for a long time with no damage.

I use it on my All Clad and Calphalon cook ware and it does great!! Truly GREAT! Also on my sink and it removes all marks. Don't know how it would work on aluminum--sorry.

To marion mcgovern: If ever in doubt about metal, do NOT put it in the dishwasher! The chlorine and detergents cause some metals to oxidize (turn black). It really doesn't need to be washed, just let any dough particles dry on the mold, then simply brush them off. When you do manage to totally oxidize aluminum, use a product called "Cameo". Actually, the oxidation won't kill you, some tools are best washed by hand (if applicable)

Citric acid is a good organic stainless steel cleaner, so I don't think it will hurt it. But I'm not a metallurgist, so take this advice with a grain of salt!

I have used this on many things and it works very well. I have not used it on Metal.

I would not use anything with aluminum. Oribe makes a great one without aluminum...smells wonderful too!

I believe it's cast aluminum so that shouldn't happen. This thing works great. Use it all the time.

No, just a wash and dry using a mild liquid, such as Palmolive or Dawn. Dry with a clean, soft, absorbent cloth.Do not use a dishwasher soap such as Cascade. There are components of these products which will discolor and corrode aluminum.
