You guys probably won't believe this, but those of us that have Radio
Control airplanes for a hobby have had great success using antifreeze in a
slow cooker type crock pot overnight on it's lowest setting. Ethelyne
Glycol (green colored antifreeze such as Prestone) works the best. See this
thread on one of my RC forums:

We also use Dawn Power Disolver with a toothbrush and hot water. Seems to
clean aluminum real well.
