Most aluminum has an anodized finish which is not very cleanable. It is like a plating, but not as durable as, say, chrome. If you use the salt and vinegar it will cut right through the anodizing, exposing the raw aluminum. This will oxidize rapidly . Probably you should just replace the parts, or clean and paint them.
