If the casting is off of the car and there are no other parts that will be attacked by the cleaner, go to the marine store and find some acid for cleaning the pontoons on the bottom of pontoon boats. This stuff works great, but is highly corrosive. Be careful. It will clean the alluminum to the bare metal.
