Aluminium staining

Spuder155
Would soda blasting remove any of this kind of aluminium staining?
If not what else could I try?
Thank you

Soda will remove that....looks very similar to the staining I had on unpainted engine cases, burnt orange dirt? The soda work great.

I wonder if scrubbing it with oxyclean will work?
I cleaned some white plastics once that were stained for years and they looked awesome after.

I need something to use on my fork guards to make them white again, I may try some oxy clean if some comet doesn't work. Any other suggestions?

Use this stuff from Napa auto parts called Alumabrite. Works amazing. Spray it on and let it sit for about 15 seconds and hose it off.

this stuff is amazing, pretty much spray it on and spray it off with the hose pipe. The tight spots you can use a tooth brush or a rag with it soaked. It took me 15 minutes to make the frame look like this

SOS Pads work very well.

The Napa Alumibrite mentioned works a treat on getting plastic white again. Spray on and pressure wash off.......

Regarding the white plastics, I use a Magic Eraser on the inside of my rear number plates where they get all stained from the mud. Works wonders, not sure if I'd use it on a glossier-finished plastic like a gas tank, though.

SHOUT laundry cleaner in the spray bottle. Works amazing on plastics and aluminum for removing stains.
