Ammonia is supposed to take oxidation off of other metals. I've never
tried it, but you could give it a shot.

Hi,

Very fine wet-or-dry sandpaper or maybe even a paint prep pad,
followed up by T-Cut or metal polish should do it.

Once the aluminium is restored it would be worth protecting with a
waxy rust inhibitor like LPS-3.

cheers,
Pete.
