You can pressure wash it, but you might find it a little faster if you brush on a painter stipper. Brush it in to the cracks and the grooves so you can remove it all in one go.
Are you going to refinish it? If so aluminum needs to be sanded lightly or even better, sandblast it if possible. This helps with the oxidization and is part of the proper prep when dealing with aluminum. I do body work on big oilfield equipment, and they are all made out of aluminum. It will need to be primed right after. After the aluminum has been sanded it needs to be primed and painted within 12hours.
If you are not refinishing it you dont need to do anything to it at all, as you already know. Hope this helps! GOod luck

we have tried the ones you paint on but metalwork is to inracate
Both Rustoleum and Krylon are good but both will flake right off if you don't do something to knock the rust off. If you don't have access to a professional bead blaster or sand blaster (and most of us don't), take a stiff wire brush to the metal, followed by acetone to clean it up before you spray it.
Prior answerer believes you have wood garden furniture. I suspect you have plastic, and have noticed that the Krylon paint for plastic is crazy expensive. Unfortunately, they seem to have a corner on the market for the time being. I do not think there is another product that will not continually scratch and chip off. I was going to re-do some chairs myself, but stopped the plan when I saw the investment. Almost cheaper to get new furniture! Consider some of the cleaners they have now made just for resin furniture.
Have some old cast aluminium garden furniture, paint peeling off, white powdery 'salts' underneath. Some of the paint scrapes easily and other places seem well stuck. Do I need to remove it all? How shall I treat the 'salts'. With acid? What is the best type of paint to use for repainting.
Thanks.
Not sure if this would be the same but I painted my aluminum siding. I used a detergent called "TSP". It comes in powder or liquid form. With previously painted aluminum you need to get the gloss and chalking substance off. The powder form needs to be mixed with water. Just spray it on and let is sit for a few minutes. After that just wash off. In your case make sure you get all of the old paint off. I would use sand paper to rough up the aluminum. After that it should be acid etched. This will help the paint stick. Use a epoxy based primer. After that I would just use a outdoor spray paint. I just found a link on how to repaint aluminum......

Mecozy: painted garden
After passing through a wooden gate and beneath pale pink rose bushes, you come to parallel hedges that make a square shape around the front porch. you can walk through the narrow path the hedges create, to the sides/back of the house where you are released into the outstanding garden that bursts forth in all colors and directions. oona's mom, a., is a masterful gardener and horticulturist. (she studies and teaches about native grasses, and she remembers all those latin names for plants.) she plans her garden carefully, but it does not have contained, prim sections; it's the kind of garden that you feel might envelope you. it encourages dreaming. i think a. plans her garden to look like a painting. dabs of vermilion are actually bobbing poppies, and strokes of blue are delphinium (?) bending toward you. it's no wonder oona is a painter. (paintings above are by oona, from years ago.) Now Reading: The Art of the Commonplace: The Agrarian Essays by Wendell Berry 8/09: I See You Everywhere...
