Default How to polish corroded Al?

I just got my TB and fuel rail off for winter clean ups. Also removed injectors and saw all kinds of greasy crap in head seat and around rubber seal rings. Actual injector tips look clean though.
But I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a couple of ??'s

1. How do I get rid of all the corrosion etc. on the TB and fuel rail and mounting hardware? Does anyone now how to polish this stuff off and get a nice surface finish?

2. Also want to clean up injector resistor.

What grade steel wool? I do not want to end up polishing out scratches.

Would'nt felt polishing bads work better? No scratches.

yeah, use pads instead or some sort of polishing cloth to get the best apearance on already polished parts. I thought you just wanted to clean things up that's why I recomended to use steel wool on non-polished parts.
