I have recently purchased a 1976 R75/6.
The aluminum engine sides and parts need cleaning. They are oxidized.
What is good to use on these parts.
I bought a Mothers cleaning ball today for my drill but it just turned the engine sides dark gray.
I also bought Mothers Aluminum and Mag Cleaner but I did not have much in the ball.
Now that I turned it dark gray I wish I would have left it alone. It looked better with some oxidation on it.
I don't want it "brightly polished" because I don't want to have to keep it that way...just ride.
Any ideas appreciated.
