I got some brass and stainless wire brushes to use with my die grinder, only tried a small patch but both work very well and certainly easier than by hand also very handy for many other parts, my footpegs and brake lever are like new 8-)
By the way I only used it on the cast finish part of the frame I wouldn't recommend using on rest of frame!

I've used alloy wheel cleaner but don't leave it on for to long

I also used alloy wheel / mag cleaner, no ill effect but didnt really help clean either... my experience is WD40 and a slightly abrasive kitchen sponge did the trick
