[TR] Alloy polish

[wbeech]

Thanks to all who provided suggestions, I ended up continuing with the dremel tool but then went back over it with a standard wide wire brush and that eliminated the little trails and left a nice alloy shine.  Now on to the carb domes and float bowls!

I would think some kind of bead blasting would give the most uniform appearance.

 

I’ve also had good luck with this:

Hello List,
Continuing to clean up the TR3 motor and would like to polish the intake manifold beyond the standard dull/dirty gray.   Tried with the the Dremel using a steel and brass brush wheel and while is puts since shine every pass leaves a line/trail.  Any suggestions to achieve a uniform finish without going to a paint or coating of any sort. 

Thanks,
