    Aluminum does that on it's own. It's a natural corrosion barrier called oxidation.

    Yes
    Careful with the gunk around anything painted without clear coat, it will completely haze and streak the finish. IE: if you get it on your frame it will zebra stripe the frame paint really bad.

    Beware of some of the Simple Green formulas.
    Although excellent cleaner, some of the formulas really attack aluminum.
    I fool around with airplanes and this has been a big issue for some folks.

    All most people need is warm soapy water and a nylon bristle brush.

    I use my kitchen's lemon Joy, a brush, shop air to dry, then 303 protectant on the plastics afterwards.

    Edit to add: Oh and don't spray your entire bay with plastic protectant. It just attracts dust and creates a mess. Spray the protectant on a rag and apply as needed.

    I've used a product called Scrubbing Bubbles a few times now. It's cheap and can be found in most household cleaning isles at grocery stores and what not. Basically just unload a full can of the foaming spray into engine bay, let it soak, rinse it off and its nice and clean. It also leaves a nice fresh scent !

    P.s. this is my first post....just picked up a 2010 MGM Taco a few weeks ago.

    Cheers!
