How stupid was this?

My aluminum compressor housing was hella greasy, so took it off and let it soak in some dishsoap and some mr. clean crap.

Now, it reacted with the soap and is ****ed and very corroded, anyway to revert this stupid deed?

Make lemonade! Just polish the sucker.

is it iron or AL? If it's iron, muriatic acid will do the trick. Just make sure to rinse afterwards.

smear it with grease and dirt or use an acid like eagle1 etching mag cleaner. Don't spray yourself in the eye though, it'll etch that too, they was calling me "left eye" for a couple of days.

Its aluminum Im soaking it in oil now to isolate it from the air, its really corroded amlost like its started to eat away at aluminum, I might take a pic later.

will the etching cleaner remove the now dark spots on it?

Could I acid dip aluminum or is that risky?
