Are you wanting to shine the coils or shock body? Wd40 works great on the coils but I can't get the shock body to clean up a well.

Denatured alcohol and a sponge works wonders on just about anything lol, a little harsher option if that isn't good enough is acetone. Just test your acetone on a small spot and rub it good first to make sure your not removing a coating or paint

Cast roll super clean. Contains lye. Don't let it set too long.
