Default Oxidised Aluminium

Hi all, my engine bay is in need of a tidy and refresh. What’s the best cleaner for oxidised aluminium? Something that actually does what it says in the tin?
Thanks a lot

WD40 and a scrub brush or steel wool.

Then diluted dish soap and a scrub.

Powerwash.

Coat and wipe with silicone spray.

Try using some acidic wheel cleaner or similar, not any of the new fancy stuff that changes color.
