Taz, with aluminums, I pull the vane off and the balance I scrape off with a knife. If necessary I use a little scotch-brite to remove the residue. I happen to use alcohol to clean the surface afterward.
I use an Az. E-Z Fletch that does all three vanes at one time, or you can do one or two only if you wish. The nock receiver is adjustable for whatever you want. It takes you a few arrows to get used to it, but if you're not trying to mass produce arrows it works great.
It's really easy to do and you can order any colors you want.
