That one is polisher and sure it can clean the oxidize.

About A70 , not sure. If you wash it with water , it may oxidize

Around RM 10 to RM 20

option 1
or u can just soak it with lemon. buy 1 lemon, cut into 2, perah it into the pail of bucket with water (dont need to be full, just enuf to submerge the heatsink). just let it there for 2 hours. take out the and bilas with water. and walla. as good as new.

option 2
buy tomato souce, soak the heatsink with it. leave it 2 3 hours, bilas with water. (dont ever put it more thank 8 hours, my friend waterblock already rosak because of this)

This is what you need. Get mother's aluminium polish for aluminium parts.
