Cleaning The Outside of Magnalite Pots

I have scrubbed mine and over and over trying to get rough areas on the inside/outside out/off. Is there something I don't know about cleaning these things? There is rough areas in the inside and no matter how much I scrub besides my hands being stained I am not accomplishing much. HELP!

Ive had my magnalite pots 14 years still look brand new. i use Cameo Stainless steel cleaner. Its about 97 cents at walmart. It makes your sink shine awesome too.

My Magnalite pots went through Hurricane Katrina in Bay St. Louis, MS. How do I get the corrosion out of the insides of the pots?

Hi, I tried everything, and finally, the only thing that worked was putting it my my self cleaning oven on the "clean" cycle for about 1 1/2 - 2 hours. When it cooled down, I rinsed off the dust and looked very good. Not shiny like new, but very clean. I suppose I could polish it if I needed it shiny, but was just happy to have all of that burnt on black stuff gone. This works for cast iron, too!!
