Strategy: Degrease with parts washer, scrub with steel wool and aluminum cleaner, polish with Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish.
Result: Decent shine
Evaluate: Deep oil stains take a while to remove.
Strategy: A step further--another pass with steel wool and polish. Then some application of "Rub 'n' Buff".
Result: Extreme shine.
Evaluate: Overkill. Not sure I'll use that again. Reinstalled points cover to keep that area free of debris as I attack the frame with rust remover and a wire brush. See stark contrast below.
