Title: Polish engine fins and can cover??
Post by: Bradders on Sunday, 01 September 2024, 06:15 PM
Hey everyone, I've noticed that my engine fins and cam cover is showing some milking on the exposed fins and cam cover.

Has anyone polished these before? I don't want to make it worse by trying to clean it up.

I used a fine sandpaper on them with a block and they came up OK, not polished as such but better than before

Mate, just get into both with wet n dry paper, less abrasive as you go. I then just use Autosol, bit of hard work but they come up nice, some wax and amazing how long they shine. In our climate its yrs not weekis, bit of a rub over now and then.
