send it to farnsworth? most cleaners etch aluminum making it look bad, so really elbow grease and some good non caustic cleaner

was thinking about it but I would need a second gen v casing and snout, as I would want to return it completely back to stock later if I ever did get rid of it.

I use Purple Power, (get it at walmart) diluted 50/50 with water, spray on, wait a couple minutes and rinse with water, you can spray some on a cleaning rag and lightly rub the "trouble spots".

any kind of degreaser will work. I typically use simple green..... cut it with water... spray on... wait...rinse off. If it still looks dirty I will spray it down again and break out some brushes to get to those hard to reach spots.
