    Engine Clean Up

    I have gotten to the point of detailing on my 1977 GS550 resurrection project..Its running gr8 and rims, frame, tank and sides restored nicely..... HOW can i get the engine looking bright and shiney again with minimal elbow grease???? is there a chemical solvent that would clean and brighten the aluminum????? thanks for any suggestions

    Rifle brushes chucked in a drill work for some of the cooling fins. Some use Simple Green, some use WD-40 or similar....
    Simple Green is a bit corrosive so be careful.

      I have learned that Brasso works well on aluminum & is available at any store very cheap but elbow grease always helps good luck.

          Alumabrite. Caswell sells it.
