All good man, I say leave the post. There so little out there for cleaning this stuff off things. Yep agree use lye as last resort. Okay so neutralize with weak vinegar. Should be obvious if the surface of the aluminum starts to react then I know there is some lye still on it. If not then it would seem that it got rinsed off decently.
The aluminum surface should oxidize again giving it the protective layer correct?
