I would like some suggestions as to what to use to clean and "brighten" aluminum such as an engine case.
I don't want to media blast the case. I know this would clean it but would end up leaving a more rough surface finish that I would like. I would like to use some sort of cleaner/brightener. I plan on using a pressure washer or a spray type parts washer. In searching the web I have found only a few types that can be bought in small quantities (like a gallon). Thanks for your advise. |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif) that's a good one Clay... me taking apart and re-assebling a tranny is like watching a monkey try to screw a football... maybe I'll look for a cheap spare side-shifter and rebuild it and have them do the case... but that will be later... the tranny doesn't leak... not now anyway... but I think the tired 1.7 it used to reside behind, did... how much does ZIM's charge for the tumble? for taking the tranny apart and re-assembling it? maybe in the winter or next year I'll farm that work out... for now, I just want to drive it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) so close... yet so far away... |
