I've had my magnalite pots 14 years now and they still look brand new. I use Cameo Stainless steel cleaner. It's about 97 cents at Walmart. It makes your sink shine awesome too.

I use to have magnalite pots & pans. They are hard, anodized aluminum.If you cook something with tomato stuff in it, (acidic), it should change the pan back to normal. You could also try scrubbing with some vinegar & see what it does, or try soaking with some vinegar & water. I'd keep checking to see how it was going. When ever aluminum gets dark spots, is usually from alkaline stuff coming in contact with the metal. Drano & the like is very alkaline. If it's strong enough & left long enough, it could damage the surface, but I'd try the acidic stuff for a bit. They are nice pans. Now with stainless, acidic stuff makes the surface darken.

I wash my Magnalite cookware in the dishwasher, using dishwasher powder. This leaves some sort of residue on my pots.
