There was a recent thread about this, but nothing comes up on the search function, and I have trawled back through the last few months in likely
categories on here to no avail (unless I am being stupid and missed it)
Anyway, what was the upshot of the best cleaner? I have some carbs/manifold that I would like to get looking clean after a good degrease. Not at all
keen on anything containing hydrofluoric acid, but somebody mentioned a "cherry" cleaner. Google throws up MANY cherry cleaners... which one
is the "good one"

Yes, I'm interested in the outcome of this too.
There's a difference between cleaning alloys and cleaning aluminium. I recommended a non-acidic cleaner for alloys, but they're
painted/coated and the cleaning process is different. Cleaning aluminium is a whole different kettle of fish, and the only reliable method I've
found is mechanical - the white powder corrosion is chemically very inert.
