Clean Cast Aluminum? Greetings!
What is the best cleaning supplies to use on cast aluminum. Im having a lot of corrosion and oxidation ruining the looks of my car under the hood.
I'm not going to take a bunch of parts off and basically dismantle my engine to clean it, so sandblasting and glass beading blasting is out the question.
I heard Eagle one MAG wheel cleaner and EZ Off oven cleaner.
Thanks!

Biggest problem with the cast is not cleaning, it's staying clean.
Sanded & buffed various parts such as alternator, drive brackets, block. Just keeps reoxidizing.
I'd try the mag cleaner & stiff scrub brush or AC condenser cleaner . It's a mild acid also. Can get at home stores in ac filter section.
