Mother's makes a nice aluminum polish. You can pick it up at almost any car parts store in the car cleaning section.

You don't want to use a pressure washer, but if you mean one of those DIY carwash deal with the high pressure spray then you're fine... but a pressure washer will leave you and your intercooler bent out of shape.

Re: (Soon_2b_evil)
You need some " Metal brite" , You can buy it from welding suppy stores. It is acid you mix with water then use a spray bottle and spray the whole intercooler and let it sit for a couple of minutes. You will see it start fizzing up and turn white, you can then spary it off with a hose. You can then polish the end tanks again but the fins will have the bright shiney look again. I use this on manifold to clean them and make them look new again, Works great , it's like $15 a gallon.

Re: (CRVRX)
i have a couple types of polish i use. mothers is nice though.
for the end tanks, mine are all chipped up and ****, the polish didnt do it, so im gonna take the bumper off and prob sand it with a real fine grit sandpaper, and hit it qwith a buffer to repolish the end tanks make it nice again . as far as the fins, i try to wash it at the car wash and no go , still looks like crap , bugs stuck in the fins and stuff. i usually get in there with a razor blade and pick the **** out and rocks and rebnd any bent up fins.
its a ballbuster for sure
