Providing it has not been laquered, I would recommend 'Autosol' (Halfords etc.), a clean soft cloth and plenty of ..elbow grease

, finish it off with a yellow duster. Its the best product I have found to clean up most Ali (end plates) and other chromed parts.

autosol is very good - my old BSA A10 crank case covers always came up nicely (motorbike long gone now, sadly).

Mothers aluminium polish from the USA is good too. Similar to autosol, but a lot more of it for your money (comes in a tub).

Blue Magic Metal polish, from the USA. bought mine through Amazon. Damn good stuff! wouldn't use anything else, and you dont need much either!

Autosol do one simply called "Aluminium Polish".
You can buy it online.

Hi
Yep autosol....It's a chemical cleaner and not an abrasive, so don't use it on gold plated hardware, it'll disparu' it quick as you like.
