I spray my aluminum bass boat to clean the lake stains off of it and it turns it clean and clear. Its a mild acid like product from NAPA. I noticed some white chaulky water stains on the FX and QX engine. While they were cold I sprayed them down and they turn nice and silver again. lightly rinsed them off with water and they look great. I rinsed with water about 5 min after the aluminum cleaner. After the water rinse I cranked them up and they dried off fine.
 
Nice. Any before and after pics? I have been wanting to clean my engine for a while. The aluminum parts that show. Any name on the product that you use?
 
Napa spray cleaner called "Aluminum Brightener" made by Macs. It has a part number of 1458, and it comes in a 32 oz spray bottle.

Sorry no before and after pics.
 
Nice find - the VQ plenum has always been a little rough looking. When I removed mine to install the plenum spacer, I washed and painted it with an engine enamel. Looked great and once painted, it's easier to clean - less porous.
