RE: PLEASE HELP (bad oxidation)
OOOO steel wool will work on the aluminum. Saturate with Mothers alum polish and rub away. Never use the steel wool dry,it will scratch but if you keep it wet with polish while you're rubbing it will make the aluminum look like chrome. No help for cases but if yours are black the
S100 engine brightener works great after you scrub them good and let them dry good.
Good Luck

I'd pull the covers off and bench polish them. That will be the only real way to clean them up. They will turn out nearly looking like chrome.
