: I'm looking to clean aluminum surfaces, such as dump truck dumps, old canoe's, decking, etc. What I need to accomplish is to bring the aluminum back to its "whiteness". Remove dark gray stains. Is their any simple yet ecomomical solution that you would apply?

I used to have a detail shop and what we used to clean aluminum was muratic acid. We used it full strength but I think it would work if you diluted it down. You might try 50/50 or maybe 75/25 You want to try and keep it away from painted surfaces because over time it will start to work on the paint.
