cleaning engine bay

^ But it'll oxidize really quick if you do that, just an FYI - I did that years ago.

I used to polish a lot of parts by hand and its hard to keep them looking good. Sanding with a dremel and 100 grit paper and then again with 600-800 makes a nice surface, than hit it with some jewelers polish and you're set.

We ended up just powdercoating most parts though since it lasts longer w/ less maintenance. I'll have to do a write-up at some point w/ pics from my previous parts.
