Default National NC300 restoration hints needed.

Not Clorox bleach, Clorox Cleanup. It is a spray cleaner similar to 409.

If you use Clorox bleach on aluminum, it will etch it and eat it away.

I worry about those type of cleaners leaving acid or base or solvent
residues, funny smells. There have been radios I ran through the dishwasher
and pulled it out after the rinse and dunked it in hot distilled water,
followed by LP air and bake at 130 for a day. I used to refurb telephones
that way too. Dishwasher is hell on decals though.
