polising aluminium intake manifold
polising aluminium intake manifold
I want to polish up an Edelbrock intake manifold, that's gone rather dull from standing, what is the best thing to use
Re: polising aluminium intake manifold
if you like your hands, and don't like blisters, rather send in to pretty polish.
Re: polising aluminium intake manifold
If it' wasn't originally polished and was just the normal aluminum finish then I'd say rather just clean it , not easy to polish them shiny takes hours and hours

if it is just cast finished, you going to have to sand the whole thing down with a rough grit, then a finer grit, say 400. then a finer grit, say 1000. then polish it with autosol or similar. it won't take hours, it will literally take days

OK, maybe I should have said clean it so it looks like new again, its very dull and dirty

Take it to somebody that can glass bead blast it, it will look brand new but with a brighter shine

Just had an Offenhauser Dual Plane intake glass bead blasted. Looks fantastic
