I've even used a brass brush and it barely affects it. Am I safe in closing it back up? As I said, this "almost" looks like a stain or anodizing.
TIA

I am guessing that the faint tan color that you are describing is what I would call "oil stain".... I really dont think it will hurt at all...BUT, if you want it gone....take some Mothers brand Aluminum polish....dab a small bit onto a shop cloth..and run on a small spot. The white polish should turn very black within about a minutes worth of polishing.... clean it off...and buff The oil stain should be gone. I would caution you however... if you use the polish, you need to be DARN sure you get every last bit of polish out of the case before reassembly...... after doing the whole inside of the case...was, wash, and wash it again!!!!!
