Talking coil cover TLC

had a bit of ocd today so decided to clean up the coil cover..
got rid of the grime with a wire attachment in a dremmel first
then started of with a medium course wet and dry and then followed with slightly finer
cleaned up the cover and then gave the lettering an oil
looks a little better than before
