Turn Anodized Aluminum to clean Aluminum

I have some cleaning guide to clean Anodized Aluminum, Start with Wiping down your anodized aluminum surface with a damp sponge to remove general surface dirt. Spray the anodized aluminum with a high pressure rinse. Then spray the anodized aluminum with a high pressure rinse. Rinse this anodized aluminum surface with clean water and then dry it with towels.

Why would you do that?? Their not trying to eat off of it, just trying to get a better price by taking the color off.

you might want to make a safety note. water plus lye is extremely exothermic reaction. you should always add LYE TO WATER not Water to lye. The reaction causes the water to increase in temperature fast and can boil depending on how much you use. Adding water to the lye can cause it to spit and burn through clothes and skin. Dont use glass container bc the temperature increase can cause it to bust and the container should be stainless steel not aluminum or definitely not plastic. use googles.
