Is vinegar effective at removing oxidisation from aluminium?

"A white vinegar solution works well for this, but the main factor is to then coat the material to seal the newly cleaned piece."

"Yes! Mix equal parts of white vinegar and water in a bowl or spray bottle. Apply the solution to the aluminum surface and let it sit for 10–15 minutes. Then, gently scrub the surface with a soft cloth or sponge in circular motions. Rinse and dry the surface thoroughly."
