Ditto experience with Noalox superior to Penetrox in marine environment
(SOCAL experience.)
Note: Regarding cleaning/polishing aluminum, by the time you are through
cleaning and polishing aluminum it will have oxidized if not protected from
atmospheric oxygen. You may not see the oxidation but it is there. This
rapid oxidation forms a protective layer that inhibits further oxidation.
The sharp conductive particulate material in Noalox penetrates this thin
layer of oxidation and makes for good electrical connection.
Say again, why I don't see the new oxide layer... The microscopic crystals
of the oxide are saphire and are essentially transparent.

I prefer the Noalox, as it does NOT get hard as concrete like the Penetrox.

Quoting Bill Marx <bmarx@bellsouth.net>:
In Florida our experience with Noalox is better than Penetrox.
Here Penetrox coated joints always seemed to corrode more in the salt
atmosphere than Noalox.
YMMV

I don't like the bottle the Noalox comes in, it's kinda flat and hard
to get any grease out of it when it starts to get low. But that's
pretty nit-picky.

Yesterday, I purchased Noalox at the locl Home Depot. In the past, I
have used Penetrox when assembling HF beams and Penetrox worked great.
Has anyone used Noalox to assemble aluminum tubing on HF beams. Please
give me the benefit of your experience with Noalox if you have used
it. Thanks and 73, John, K5PGW
