Question cleaning plenum and valve cover
I was cleaning some of my engine today with Super Clean. I got some on the aluminum and it turned it to a chalky white. How can I remove/clean this (oxidation?) from these aluminum parts? Is media blasting the only way?

the directions on the bottle specifically state dont use on aluminum or painted surfaces. its ok to use on these if immediately washed off

Yep, dumb move by me. I sprayed the top of the engine and worked my way down, guess I waited too long to remove it from the alum.
