Cleaning Side Steps
What is the best product for cleaning up the aluminium side steps really well? There are a few marks and also some staining from what looks like soap/detergent running off the car and drying on the aluminium. Advice appreciated!!

Someone previously suggested vaseline left overnight. Lots of posts about it being an old classic car detailing method.
Dont know if it works though!
