Aluminum Cleaner for heavy oxidation removal?

[Duh_Vinci]

Is there anything off the shelf/recipe one can recommend (similar to CLR Calcium Remover)?

I have a spare viso fan blades, that while solid with no damage, but came from a car that's been seating for a while, blades have a lot of oxidation... I can certainly use "elbow grease" with brillo pads, but hoping for a product that I can just poor into a small tub, submerge the blades and let them soak, and let the solution do the job?

Regards,
D

@Duh_Vinci, D, check out Search “Clean Fan Blades” it will bring up jlaa’s super clean fan which he did with soap and elbow grease.

Looks like no easy way

Cheers Terry!

I tried to do a search, but nothing comes up, other than this "wanted thread" WANTED - Fan Blade (119-205-00-6) | Parts for Sale

I kinda figured, elbow grease, and a polishing attachment for a final touches... I guess after seeing some TV commercials where the pots/pans just being submerged into the tub of solution (from what I remember) just got them sooooo clean. I know better, if it looks too good to be true it is NOT!!!

There are quite few hits on Amazon, but all seem to be just a basic cleaner at the end... Can't blame me for wanting the "easy ride" on this one

Brilo pads, vinegar and simple green (when it gets a little cooler) it is...

Generally there shouldn't be any lubricant needed on the headrest rails. The couple of plastic parts tend to break, if yours are all intact you can leave them alone. Of more concern are all the cream-colored plastic trims at the sides of the seat hinges; some are NLA and the retaining clips...

Perhaps media blasting with something really light (walnut shells?) would work as well.

I haven't graduated to the media blasting equipment yet, otherwise, mild walnuts would indeed do wonders on these blades. But for this guy, looks like as @Jlaa , manual labor in the future I see for those blades!!!
