I've been using Dawn detergent and water to wipe my aluminum down. Follow up with a towel with straight water and buff down with the grain with a clean towel. Windex and lacquer thinner seem to oxidize the aluminum leaving a white haze. The Dawn leaves a cleaner aluminum finish. Dawn will remove most grease. Not sure about silicone. I always thought alcohol was the way to remove silicone? Give it a try.
