Pontoon Aluminum cleaners?

[Raycaster]

Trying to clean up toons and having trouble tracking down Star Brite Aluminum cleaner in Hamilton area, Its seems OOS or way overpriced. 

Is there a decent alternative? I’ve seen YouTube use vinegar 50/50 and mention of CLR but warnings too.
 

If anyone’s has any tricks I’d love to hear them. 
 

Thx ahead.

Never did anything like this but the acid based stuff seems a hassle?

Not sure about the availability up there, but I have used this on my aluminum boat trailers.
