If it has been polished, then use Rolite.  It is a special polish

origionally made fibreglass and plastic.  It is the BEST polish I have ever

used for aluminum.  It will return the ORIGIONAL luster to any polished

aluminum and actually even polish smooth unpolished metal.  Works better on

brass than Brasso.  If it is just bare origional, then sand blasting or wire

brush is about the only way to clean it.



I have lots of polished aluminum, I know the corrosion well.
