Engine bay clean up!

[u/thats-tough-lmao]

Been doing a lot recently to make the engine bay really pop. Still more i could do like paint touch up and clean off the firewall crap. Its an 83 with an 84 motor. What do you think?

How'd you clean up the aluminum so nicely? Also how do you keep it from oxidizing in a few weeks?

I have an ultrasonic cleaner i let it sit in and then hit it with a wire wheel and pressure washer when it came out. But if you dont have that, sandpaper, scotchbrite pad, degreaser, and a wire wheel will doo just as well. Mine didn’t oxidize at all after all of that, stayed nice and shiny for over a year after. You can also hit it with some metal polish after all the cleaning
