Got a 2005 YZ125 with some frame tarnish around the pegs and Y, and have not been able to clean it up yet.
So far, I've tried many times with scotchbrite. I've probably washed the bike ten times since framing it, and each time, I hit those areas again and again with the scotchbrite/pot scouring pads.
Most of the cases and frame have cleaned up pretty nicely, but there are a few dark spots where the aluminum is a darker grey than everywhere else.
Any suggestions?

Cameron Niemela has a FANTASTIC youtube channel that has a ton of aluminum cleaning tutorials. He basically walks through it and the results are reallly good
Polish or mag wheel cleaner or ...
The Shop
Also, the footpeg pins and springs are all plated, and I need to cleanup the frame in that area too.
Ive never had an issue with it on my motor(gaskets included), any plastic or rubber.
Never gotten any on anodizing or plated parts. So idk what happens. Id assume it would mess up the finish.
