Try Mother's aluminum polish. It works very well.

some sandpaper and alot of time its hard to get in all the small spaces. After you get all that JUNK off I know what your talkin about you can put a little bit of mothers on them to shine them up but if yuo want them to actually be polished have fun cause they have casting marks on them and it wil take you FOREVER to get them all sanded out right!
