I had to give up as my patience is not high.
Switch on Utube and some yanks drawls away about all lou minum and what is wrong with it and why he is cleaning it yarghhh enough!

How do you guys clean up aluminium parts please?
Is there an oven cleaner thats good?
I heard that there is a concrete cleaner that works.
Baked beans is another trick as is rhubarb juice.
Do soda crystals work?
I am well aware I can give it to a specialist with a sonic tank who will charge me ££££££££££ but that is not my route.

Alibrite

soda blast then treat with corrosionXaviation

Vapour/Aqua blasting. Leaves a nice shiny finish versus sand/media blasting which is more aggressive and leaves matt finish which is easily contaminated with dirt and oily finger prints.

Trinitrol. Thanks autocorrect: I actually typed Dinitrol!

All the blasting options are fine if the parts are dismantled, not so good if the car is in one bit

I used Alubrite to clean up a 106 Rallye TU block for a coffee table and it worked a treat: http://www.raceglaze.co.uk/car-care-ext ... e-cleaner/

I've heard brick acid works well but I've not tried it personally... Acid is definitely the best way to chemically clean aluminium in my experience.

Thanks lads I will try one of the methods.
Its not for the 944 as thats looking fine but I have not driven it since August last year.
