Vinegar is suspose to work for some things, Mix it 50/50 with water and spray it on, If it isn't to oxidized. Dupont also makes a aluminum cleaner.

i found this best so far, but be careful not too leave it on too long. it will oxidize and turn the casting white.

If its raw cast aluminum like blocks etc, and you want to bring it back, or its raw stock like sheet or tube with natural grain, you can use a product called "Toon Brite".

Its a mild acid, for cleaning aircraft and boat pontoons. It works great on aluminum casting and sheet. Doesnt affect the material, but it clouds a tiny bit on cnc machined forged aluminum or polish.

But if you are on those surfaces, its awesome. You just wash it off after 5 minutes.

Try a marine store.
