I don't know if it's any good yet but I bought a can of clear heat
resistant coating from Eastwood, for when I polish my SU's. It is
supposed to keep aluminum/brass etc. from tarnishing and
supposedly will work on aluminum heads, valve covers etc. so I
bought a can of it. I let you folks know how it works.
Has anyone else used this stuff? How well does it work?
