    Assuming its alloy like most, either buff it up, or spray it.

    I use a fine scotch bright pad and then autosol. They end up with a mirror finish.

    Steel wool gets it pretty clean pretty quickly... then scotchbrite pad and autosol.

    Mirror finish like JP said

    soft wire wheels work wicked, low RPM on the end of a drill.

    make sure its a SOFT one, and low rpm, otherwise you'll dig trenches into it!!
