A Scotchbrite pad will clean it off and keep it brushed looking. Just scrub in the direction of the brush marks. They make different grit pads for finer or more aggressive scrubbing.

I tried all these suggestions on my Power Wagon's anodized grille but nothing brought back any shine. My mechanic suggested Oven Cleaner so I tried that then scrubbed with the scotch brite and that actually brought back some shine.
Facts are stubborn things.

Thanks for all the replies. Its brushed, but I don't think its anodized. Hopefully I can brush, sand off the oxidation, brush the "brushed" pattern back in, and clearcoat it.

I use gray scotchbrite pads to get the brushed look. It's very similar to how it's done in manufacturing but they have big powered wheels of the stuff.

Non painted aluminum wheel cleaner should work great, it brings back heads a manifolds also.
Have a great day Iowan
