Cleaning the outside of Magnalite pots. What do you recommend?

My mom gave me her 40 year old set and they have water spots and some burnt on grease. Any ideas on how to clean the outside? We used a scotch brite pad and it worked but scratched.

To take care of burned on grease, you're going to have to employ a degreaser of some sort. I also looked up some other tips:

Use vinegar, lemon or a citrus-based cleaner.
Also: Mix 1/2 teaspoon washing soda (sodium carbonate, soda ash or sal soda), 2 tablespoons white vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon liquid soap and 2 cups hot water.

I use a scotch brite and some comet and just live with the scratches.

Try a Brillo pad, they work pretty well.

Coloradobengal nailed it. I use SOS pads and Ajax. I really need to buy a few more, particularly a roaster if someone has one.
