Purple power is a strong degreaser that has "brightner" in it and i agree with Mike, its a great way to cut the lardy caked on sludge accumulate. You may have to agitate with a stiff brush after it has sat for a few minutes. Then, find a truck wash( big rigs) or similar place that will sell you straight wash acid. It will disintegrate any remaining grease or residue and leave a nice etched surface suitable for painting or polishing. Do not leave acidic products on aluminum for too long, they will start to dissolve the metal.

Mineral spirits first. Then hit varnish and serious stains with toluene.
Don’t breathe the fumes. or smoke, Toluene in model glue is what would get the glue sniffers high Maybe that’s why I am happy when I clean cases. LOL

If you want it look original in texture and finish, see if you have someone that does dry ice blasting in your area...... Nice👍

I'm pretty partial to Easy-Off oven cleaner. The yellow stuff, not the new blue stuff, though, the blue can ain't terrible.
