Had good results with automotive engine cleaner (gunk) and stiff nylon brushes on the cases.
Crevices between the fins on the barrels are best reached with a round brush to clean hand guns.
Make sure the parts are somewhat warm when applying the cleaning solvent.

if it's oil/grease smear, try WD40 and the nylon brush. I had extremely nice results on that. The WD40 binds itself with the oil/grease as it is of similar structure. It makes the dirt stick to the fluid instead to the casting and if you help with the brush, it comes off relatively easy. Then clean that away with a brake-cleaner or a soap based fluid that is designed for engine/car wash. Works to a very impressive and surprising level...  ;)
 
If you have Chemtech products in NZ, same guys that make CT18, try their Blitz Aluminium Cleaner, available at any Supercheap store, I use it neat with a toothbrush, Germi helps the cause also
 
and once you've cleaned the barrels.....wax them with something gloopy (I use Turtle wax), as it stops it happening again. Stinks a bit on first start, but last for months...  The faint green tinge is quite fetching too  :P

CEV tail light on Ebay UK right now.
 
I have 3 for sale, brand new.
Surplus to requirements.
They are Gonelli branded, but exact look-alike for the CEV original unit.
Happy to sell to anyone for what they cost me.
35 euros each.
PM me if interested.
