Simple Green is not aluminum safe...
Not long after it came on the market, it didn't take long for the FAA to put out the notification to "not" use simple green on aircraft, bare aluminum, it water spots like hell and promotes corrosion. We can always tell when one of our customers (airplane owner's) never got the word. You have to watch out for Dawn liquid...it's rough on bare aluminum also.
