Shiny bits

Janel,

Sounds like the guys covered most of the bases here. I would agree with the buffing wheel on the bench grinder. FWIW - Sears makes a kit with cloth wheels and rouge. Another tip to keep things nice and shiney is to seal them with clear coat. For most of my engine bay stuff I used high temp engine clear from Duplicolor. It comes in a rattle can.

Just beware, once you start to clean and polish you'll want to do everything! As the really clean part makes the others look worse! It's a dangerous trail! LOL!
 
John's right. Beware the "May as Well" demons.
 
shipwright's disease is just around the corner! Better get that thing running soon and get out for a drive before you have "Emma in a Box" too.
