Re: cleaning aluminum intakes
[ QUOTE ]
I am not a fan of sandblasting aluminum intakes. I feel it ruins the original aluminum sheen. [/ QUOTE ] I agree 100%. I've tried a number of methods over the years and plastic media blasting works the best for a OEM finish. I then use "Nyalic" from Eastwood to keep it looking factory. Any other coatings will dull, chip, peel or yellow. I've gotten good results from this process. A alternative is to have MacNeish 're-skin' it. Jerry does nice work, but you still are faced with preserving that finish.
