Default Aluminum Cleaner

I have been getting a few aluminum intakes. I want to clean them without blasting them. I thought I heard of a cleaner that works on aluminum without hurting it?

Thanks in advance, Kurt

I've used Eagle 1 Chrome and Wire Wheel Cleaner on intakes with good results. I've also heard Simple Green and Bartenders Friend work well.

My friend has some stuff called trailer brite. Good for cleaning aluminum Tractor and Trailer parts. Very caustic though.

Jed, have you ever used coil cleaner? The kind of stuff you might use on an aluminum coil in an HVAC system? I always wanted to see if soemthing for that would work well on an intake. Just never had my hands on any. Figured you might.
