The scotch brite, etc. angles have been thoroughly covered.... being
inherently lazy, I will put a different spin on this one, for cleaning
without elbow grease...you just dip, or wipe on, wait a few seconds and hose
off....
Go to your local auto paint supplier... they have a cleaners/conditioners for
cleaning and prepping aluminum....
examples:
Dupont Metal Conditioner # 5717.... is diluted with water... goes a long
ways.... $23/gal
PPG Metal Cleaner # DX-533 .... don't know prices
Metal Conditioner # DX-579

NO... I did not make up the part numbers on the PPG products....
