Some types of aluminum respond very well to "anti freeze - in a
crockpot" Plain old GREEN ethylene glycol heated to about 140 degrees
and soaked for a few hours -keep an eye on it- leaves the aluminum
CLEAN and bright . The silicates also help seal the surface pores . Test
well and watch the process and of course rinse well.

Yes. That stuff causes clouding and darkening on some aluminum alloys,
most specifically those used on the transmissions and cam-chain covers
on Eldos.

I have heard bad things about soaking alumnium in Simple Green for
extended periods of time. Anyone have any experience with this?
