Easy Off oven cleaner. After it foams remove because the lye will stick around and leave white spots. Take that thing to the car wash and give her a good rinse.

Don't do it! It will etch your aluminum and ruin the appearance! Even the oven cleaner containers say do not use on aluminum.

I am using a round of castrol power clean per Ed 650 and then letting parts sin in or spay occasionally with simple green for 24 hrs per Old Man Rock. then polishing with pretty good results. There are a few things I need to catch, will post pictures soon before/after each step.
