Update: A friend of mine told me to use some spray on paint remover from NAPA. Here is the result.

The best cleaner i found for Aluminum, Aluminum Naval Jelly, by Permatex. Liquid substance is put on with a brush, let sit for 5-10 minutes, hose off with hot water. I soak my parts first in real hot water, apply this cleaner, sit 5-10 minutes, hose off with hot water, just unreal it cleans.

I cleaned it quite a few times with Eagle 1 wheel cleaner. Not too bad for my first time...I'm happy. Perfect for that "Patina" look. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

i have used Dawn dish soap to get the grease off and then Tide detergent with a bit of water and scrub brush...most Aluminum cleans up well without damaging the surface or patina...
