depends on what the problem is...

for "normal" cleaning, any good quality car shampoo with do.
its only when you have harsher dirt that you have more challenge- and then you would just use any good quality steel cleaner (wenol, luster lace, etc.)

clean the dirt off with soap, then hit it with some fine grade steel wool and glass cleaner.

I own a couple of titanium framed bicycles and fine steel wool works for me.

it could if you scrub enough or use a harsh enough product... best to test underneath.

its a real pia to "reblue" if you get the blue off accidentally.
