Engine Bay Clean Up
I'm in the process of cleaning up my engine bay, inspired by the engine bay thread. I have the cam covers and intake plenum off. I was thinking of polishing them, but they seem to have a lot of noticeable pitts. I will probably just paint them. I noticed on the other thread a lot of hoses seem to be eliminated. Please list any suggestions to clean up the look of the engine bay.

Re: Engine Bay Clean Up
Cleaning the engine bay is simply lots of elbow grease. I use a product called 303 which is excellent for all rubber and plastic finishes. I use a mans dress sock over my hand as an applicator.

Youtube has some good instructional videos on polishing engine parts.
