If you want the lower unit to be "bright" go to the local boat store and purchase "aluminum brightner" same stuff they sell for pontoon boat - spray apply - let it foam up and wash it off - Other cleaners for aluminum wheels are one of two types, Used for painte/powder coated wheels or a second type very mild acit that is too slow cleaning for you drive -

Use the pntoon boat stuff - I don't have a brand name but any boat store will carry it - it is a medium acid - it will take your breath and eyes away - be careful when the foaming stops the acid has done it's job -
