Cleaning Aluminum Jugs?

[extremeXS]

I'm almost done restoring an 80, XS1100G, and loving it. I need some advise about cleaning the aluminum heads. Are they coated with something or are they plain old aluminum. I'm not sure what to use on them.

They are painted between the fins. If you are removing oil/grease, try kerosine on a rag (no sparks or open flames, thank you!).
