Cleaning aluminum intake...

Has anyone ever had good luck cleaning aluminum intakes? I have cleaned it, but I want it to look better than just using engine cleaner.

kurthb, Order a catalog online from the eastwood company. There is several kits you can buy to polish out that manifold. Showcar shine if you prefer, or just a spiffy polish job. Choice is yours depending on how much effort you want to put into it. A good polish for aluminum is mothers paste wax, available at walmarts, or where ever.I use it on my 1100 goldwings aluminum wheel rims. Great stuff. also once you get it polished out, spray on some clear sealer coat to help protect your shine longer. can use a dremel moto tool with polisher, buffer wheels and mothers.
