Cleaning aluminium Glenwood square exhaust logs

Pretty much like the title says. Anyone know of what I can use to help clean the inside built up carbon while also nothing hurting the outside aluminium on my square Glenwood exhaust?

Re: Refinishing 18' 1960 Continental.

Thanks everyone. Pepe was thrilled to see his boat refinished. It exceeded his expectations, he loved it. I was super proud to have his approval. I gave him the honor of the first drive. After all it may be my boat but it will always be his.

Re: Problem varnishing over deck seams

Give the seams themselves a light sanding? I have red scotch bright and some various grits of sand paper. What would you recommend?

Problem varnishing over deck seams

We are applying the first of three final coats of varnish on the deck. The varnish seems to puddle up in the deck seams. Any advice would be appreciated. Epifanes high gloss clear varnish. Full strength not thinned. Seams are the one part boat life.

So I wasn't able to take photos today. But I was able to talk to Pepe about the boat over dinner. He has owned the boat since 1972-1973. He got the boat from a friend who worked at a century dealership. The first owner traded it into the dealer to buy a new century fiberglass boat. The guy got $1200...
