Be careful about using strong alkali cleaners around aluminum or Magnesium.

If the caustic cleaner is left on the piston or cylinder like overnight, the chance of a chemical reaction damaging the metal is highly likely.

Caustics are OK to leave on there short term but be sure to completely remove them or the alkali will keep on working.

Alkali will turn aluminum a dull gray color and magnesium to white powder.
