Tiger Aluminium Luggage Issue

[Charlie1780]

Hiya folks ,
My 2020 Tiger 800 has the aluminium luggage. Getting it down off the rack for a weekend jaunt I have notice this spotting on the aluminium (photo attached) any suggestions on cleaning them? I don’t want anything abrasive as don’t want the boxes covered in scratches, so was just wondering if anyone has a workshop hack or a secret recipe your grandad once shared in order to bring it to its former glory . Thanks guys !!

Give autosol metal polish a try. It's a mildly abrasive cream. Works wonders on chrome and aluminum. I use it all the time. It's made for non-precious metals like aluminum, brass, copper. It will take a little elbow grease but the results are great.
