This!
I am surprised no one has mentioned Aqua blasting!
Sand Blasting is a no no and Media blasting with baking soda or wallnut shells produces OK results. We aqua blast all of our aluminum and it comes back like new from factory. Very few people offer this service globally and 90% of the guys that actually do are in the UK!

May I ask what kit you use for aqua blasting? And what psi it runs at?

baking powder....how did someone stumble across that great idea...must have been some strong stuff being passed around the garage that night!!....

I'm having my rocker cover blasted as the current surface "treatment" is not the best.....flaky chrome plating!....

lol, that is Jamo's old rocker cover from the ABY engine he sold me.

Chrome finish nothing to do with me was done by the previous owner tekkno435 who used to sell chrome part finishing

I wetblast them with water degreasant and glass bead but have acquired a very effective post cleaning technique
However the cleaning generally takes longer than the blasting. The main key is no dead ends and do not block of any threads as the stuff still gets in there. That's why I use a degreasent mixed in with the water.
