Okay, ive tried good ol' elbow grease, CLR, WD40, everything short of bead blasting and repainting the bike. what will remove the rust i have going on my aluminum? its not blistered rust, just little specs of it. any suggestions?

and i have stains on my platnum PC pipe. ive tried a bit of mothers aluminum polish, and it helped, but didnt get rid of them, and it sure doesnt look new. any ideas?

Aluminum oxide is white in color. Is this what we are talking about here?

no, i dont think so. this is definetly spots of rust, or mineral deposits. the pipe seem to be a mineral deposit because its more of a stain, and possibly the same thing staining the pipe is sticking to the swingarm in specks. its pissing me off.

does that stuff really work? what about the plastic on the ignition cover? is it okay to spray on aluminum, and other metals? will it kill powder coating?

No, I suggested it because I like to hear the sound of my keyboard clicking.

what about the plastic on the ignition cover?

Don't know.

is it okay to spray on aluminum, and other metals?

Aluminum yes. Define "other metals" .

will it kill powder coating?

Never tried it on powdercoating.
