Question:

how do u clean aluminum??

i have an antique aluminum orange juicer that i want to sell on ebay. i need to clean it without damaging it so it looks spify for ebay.

Answer:

If it's antique, are you sure you want to clean it - sometimes cleaning an antique will hurt its value? Aluminum oxidizes on its surface - a dull powdery white look - unless it's coated. This is natural and probably not something you'd want to remove. If the surface is dirtier than that you might want to be careful cleaning so you don't remove the oxidation. I'd suggest you go to the OKorder community forums and go into the antiques section and ask there. You'll be more likely to get an answer from someone with antiques knowledge and experience and maybe from someone who'll end up bidding.
There is a product called mothers aluminum polish that works great on aluminum
