Want Aluminum Truck Body Cleaner

I own a 20' box truck with a aluminum body. It's a 1985 and I am trying to clean the aluminum body rather then paint over it. I have some spray paint and vinyl to remove also.

Hi, Pat. You can probably get the vinyl and the spray paint off with Aircraft Stripper, but it's noxious stuff based on methylene chloride. There are a lot of cleaners and polishes out there; you might find letter 11151 amusing and informative. Good luck.
