[Amc-list] Polishing / Preserving Aluminum - Cleaning the 196 intake plate

[Brien Tourville <hh7x@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Any recommendations for polishing it? Use a dremmel or some such? Not
sure if I want to polish it, or just clean it as the car will be a
driver - but if I were? A dremmel, or some emery cloth and a double shot
of coffee?

Once clean, do I leave it bare metal, or?

Use a bead blasting cabinet with fine abrasive. Put on a clean, 
tight-fitting dust mask. When I bead blast a wheel I do the entire 
wheel, concentrating on the inside, where it's most needed. Different 
results are possible by blasting with plastic media or walnut shells.

For a smoother finish, 3M <http://www.mmm.com/> makes two products that 
in my view have revolutionized metal finishing:

Scotch-Brite pads and discs; and their SandBlaster sanding sponges.

To protect bare aluminum or magnesium from oxidization and fingerprints, 
I know of nothing better than Gibbs Brand 
<http://www.roadsters.com/gibbs/>. Please read the page that I wrote 
about it <http://www.roadsters.com/gibbs/>. It's amazing.
