How to clean up the chassis?

[WYsixK]

Ok, I give.  I've tried washing with soap and water and WD40.  Then I've been polishing until my
dremel and my fingers are shot using Mother's Aluminum polish and Semi-Chrome Aluminum polish.
There must be a better way!  The old 75A4 that I had Howard restore came back with the chassis
looking like it was made yesterday.  Using the aluminum polish like I've been doing you also
cannot get to all the areas - like up close to a transformer can. And it looks all splotchy and
terrible!  The radio that Howard restored didn't have any of those splotchy "can't get to them"
areas.  How do these guys who really know what they are doing get ALL of the alumimun to look like
it's new?  It looks like they hosed it off with some magic chemical aluminum restorer and then
hosed it off with water.  But what chemical and what do you do about plastic dial scaels etc?
Help!
