detailing the 55K engine
Does anyway know the best way of detailing the aluminium central criss-cross grid of the plenum ? They tend to oxidise and I was thinking even a brass bristle brush
wouldn't quite work its way in the little squares. Thanks !

Hello, I just tried to apply the Aluminum cleaner & remover with my wife's makeup brush for my M113K engine, the result is very nice.
I think you can buy the Aluminum cleaner & remover from construction materiel or tools store in your country.
If you want to help, please PM me.

Hi Joe Chu, thank you for your suggestion. Can I ask what is the brand of aluminium cleaner you used ? In the UK there are lots of aluminium 'polish' but I'm not aware of any general cleaner that dissolves the oxide itself ?

Sure, here is the photo of cleaner........................
But, I think you cannot buy it in your country................Because it is bought from HK's local tools store.
If necessary, please PM me
