I'd like to clean my slavage yard Alt. to make it look like a new one. How or what chemical should I use to bring the casing back to a like new look. I'd like not to disesemble the alterator. I am worried about killing it with strong chemicals. Disesemble maybe the best way to do it, I just have never opened one before. Mine is not real dirty, its just not new looking.

Use etching-type mag wheel cleaner from the parts store, then spray it with some kind of clear-coat (paint).

The ecthing won't hurt the windings?

No, because:

1) the windings are coated with a very durable elastomeric coating, and
2) You don't need to leave the cleaner on the case long enough to cause problems.

You can start by degreasing it with electrical cleaner (the stuff you clean the inside of computers and circuit boards with)...
