hmm...interesting. Personally I like the clean and paint method. I like the pretty colors :wink: And crap doesn't seem to cling to painted surfaces quite as bad as aluminum or cast metals.
But yes, there are several options he listed. Overall, I have to agree with Jason, carb/brake cleaner and a good brush do a very nice job.
(If painting you need to rewash with a very mild soap to get the oils off of the surfaces)Just stand back and throw money.
Performance costs money.
Reliable performance costs more.

11) Hydrochloric acid: (available as muriatic acid). Takes off corrosion
(not oily gunk), bubbling as it does so, but leaves the surface dark grey.
Use a stainless steel wire "tooth" brush ($1 at your local car parts place)
to expedite activity. Don't use it unless you really like this color. Avoid
the fumes.
I like how he throws in "avoid the fumes" at the end. NOT THAT THEY COULD KILL YOU or anything like that LOL. Noxious gas, WTF is that? :shock:85 Z31 6.0 LSX turbo 766whp/792wtq

Yeah, Ive got a jug of muratic Ive been holding onto for some reason, Im kinda thinking of throwing some aluminum into it to see what it looks like I was looking up stuff about polishing my turbo while its apart but it seems like its gonna be more of a pita than its worth.
