Try some alloy wheel cleaner that has Phosporic acid in it. The type for
unpainted/coated wheels is stronger and will remove corrosion etc. Eagle 1 is
a brand I have used. they make several types so remember the type for the un
coated wheels works best. It does a great job on cleaning up aluminum parts
but will cause rust and eat the cad plating off bolts so be careful.
