Sandpaper will get them clean.

Muriatic acid will clean it well, but the fumes are poisonous, they can kill you!

I like to use SOS pads and a lot of soapy water.

Simple green can eliminate any grease buildup on the bottom half of the motor brackets.

Eazy Off let it settle, then scrub it. Repeat process as needed, then paint with spray paint. I did it to my car and man it looks great. Do a search for my name and you'll find pictures of my recent build.

I use this also, a little elbow grease and it looks great. I also find the Walmart brand cheap engine degreaser works great, I take them to the car wash if they are really dirty.

I saw Eazy Off mentioned, if you use this be careful it really isn't made for use on Alum.
