Sup friends,
My engine is covered in oxidation flakes. Normally I use oven cleaner for my greasy metal parts but I've heard that it's not good for aluminum parts.
While I have all of the parts disassembled, I plan on giving everything a deep clean, taking care of the oxidation is a pretty big part of that.
I've googled a few how-to's on what people are using, and Mag wheel polish, lemon water, baking soda, and barkeepers' friend (pumice powder) are the main options.
Anyone have any advice on their best aluminum cleaning methods, as well as protection against oxidation occurring again?
I don't want it polished, or mirror-like, I just want it "like-new" clean.
