I have cleaned a darmah and a couple of Laverdas with a product they use to remove corrosion from Aluminum boats: "Nautical Ease". It is a spary on and wash off product. It contains a mild acid, that will etch polished aluminum if left on too long, so you have to be careful. Does a great job on unpolished aluminum, like the engine casings, makes them bright and clean.
