Hi dave. Even though I started out on the wrong foot here with you guys, I"d like to help. There are about a dozen different acids that about a dozen different people prefer. Meaning different people prefer different things. I Prefer Eagle one mag wheel cleaner. The kind for wheels without clearcoat. It actually foams up and eats away everything. When possible I like to glass bead, that"s the best. Also if possible I like to use the 3M buffing/polishing pads. That"s about all I use. As far as your problem, you did the only thing you can do. Use the max cleaning side of the balance wave, and keep going over it till all the dirt is gone. I"ve done ALOT of aluminum over the years, and let me tell ya, It"s a fussy alloy. Sometimes you can scub until there"s no tommorrow, and still not get it all. And other times you think you"ll run into problems because of dirt, and it will be fine. I can"t figure it out. Welding Magnesium is the same way. Being it was cast aluminum did"t help matters any. Some of those castings can be real bad. Doug
