Re: TOY: Cleaning up corroded aluminum??

[Thom Singer <ntsqd@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try aluminum wheel cleaner. There are two types, that for wheels with a clear coat and that for
those without. You want the 'without' type. Last bottle I bought was from Eagle 1.
I use it on Carter AFB's instead of carb cleaner and it works better than any of the new stuff. Just
don't use it on Holleys and Rochesters, Zymac will go away in it.
