cool head discoloration

[370bansheeSOFLO]

so i was cleaning the bike after my last ride i normally use formula 88 i spray down the whole bike then wash it off works awesome, but this is the first wash since i put the noss cool head on it, i sprayed the formula 88 on the head washed it off now the head is no longer polished it has a white residue on it and no matter what i use to clean it it will not polish back up? i used mothers polish and also turtle polish wax. any ideas

your using an aggressive cleaner,  you are better off with something like simple green which is strong but not enough to hurt the aluminum.

i wash with simple green no problems,   degreasers like castrol super clean, or the zep 505 make aluminum look like crap, and it takes a bit of work to make it look good again.
