I would like some suggestions as to what to use to clean and "brighten" aluminum such as an engine case.

I don't want to media blast the case. I know this would clean it but would end up leaving a more rough surface finish that I would like.

I would like to use some sort of cleaner/brightener. I plan on using a pressure washer or a spray type parts washer.

In searching the web I have found only a few types that can be bought in small quantities (like a gallon).

Thanks for your advise.
