I found the BEST Aluminum intake cleaner that leaves the factory finish is Aluminum Naval Jelly by Loctite.

Sorry, that's something I don't want to discuss. It's taken me a very long time (not to mention a significant financial investment) to figure out how to do this.

I've used that before and it works well, but it wasn't used here.


Basically I just want to be sure that this is something that will pass aesthetic scrutiny.

Eric, I'm not knocking your efforts but it looks like paint to me although it's not. Too much of a silver-chrome look IMO.
