Need machining coolant that won't stain aluminium

We are currently using a cutting coolant and leaving the material to drain after drilling. However, there is evidence of marking on the aluminium extrusion. Owing to the high volume of work, minimal handling is of major importance. What we are looking for is another type of coolant that will not leave marks on the aluminium extrusion.

How can anyone help when you do not say what you are currently using that is causing the stain?

My fault, James, sorry. He is using "Soltrend Al". I omitted it thinking it might appear we were badmouthing a particular product, but you're probably right that it is critical to the question.
