Thanks..

Mariatic (sp?) acid will brighten most stains, but it doesn't like oil stains. Using Castrol Super Clean straight will do a good job on the oil stains.

Muratic acid (my spelling might be wrong) you used to be able to get it at the hardware stores or where ever they sell pool chemicals.

I get the Muriatic acid from a local hardware store (True Value) and you can get the Super Clean from Wal-Mart.
I know folks seem to like other cleaners, but the Super Clean is by far the best for de-greasing - I had tried them all when I was into cars. The bad thing with Super Clean is that is it so aggressive - a lot of hobbiests use it to remove paint from detailed items. It tarnishes aluminum, too so be careful with it. I use it through a pressure washer to wash my MX bikes (lots of aluminum) so I can say that diluted it is fine on AL. Just be careful using it - at full strength it will chemically burn your skin (so will the acid).
