Auto part stores carry Aluminum wheel cleaner, it is a strong chemical that strips off oxidation and leaves a clean , raw, surface. The only problem is that raw aluminum starts to oxidize immediately. You will need to covert the antenna with a coating of clear urethane to stop this from happening . This can be done with spray or brush.

What is a good cleaning solvent for aluminum repeater antennas? I have an antenna that was exposed to the weather for years and it has become pitted and dirty from the enviroment. Thanks, John
