You can use muriatic acid to clean or etch aluminum. Do not let it set too long or it will eat through. Use caution since muriatic acid is very caustic.

How do you clean snowmobile cylinders with aluminum piston on them?

Hydrochloric (Muriatic) Acid can be used for this. It is a mild acid,but still acid, so use care. Using an acid brush brush the acid on the aluminum, depending on the thickness of the aluminum it can that a while, but will remove all aluminum from the cylinders without causing any problems. The fumes can be rough, so ventilation is important. I have used this for years to save engines , so they can be repaired.
