Hi,
My car is a restored driver. I keep it obsessively maintained and like to keep the appearances up where I can.
So, I have came across a quick easy tip to refinish the aluminum intake manifold in place (this was not done at the time of the restoration). Simply go to your local hardware store or Home Depot and pick up a selection of the sponge sanding pads. These are the flat pads, not the sponges shaped like a bar of soap, I think 3M makes them. I used 60, 80, 100 and 150 grit pads and by lightly sanding the aluminum intake, it quickly removed years of grim and let the nice, bright aluminum show through.
Probably took me all of an hour to do. I was able to get into all the small spots by cutting off little 1"x1" squares.
