Autosol is good stuff, but you'll take an age to scrub-up ally with it. I concur, don't use a pressure washer. I'm eventually going to take my spare rocker-box into work and sand-blast it and polish it. But then I've got a polishing mop at work with the proper polishing blocks. I'll get around to it one day, meanwhile there's the outside of the house to paint and a garden to look after! Roll Eyes
