Spark plug cover looked ill...
 

Had a go at brightening up the lettering this afternoon with some metal polish which was useless...

So out came the Dremel and some fine grade wet and dry, much better... :)

Nice and shiney.

Nice - what did you use on the dremel?

Firstly the 'ring of sandpaper' bit to remove the milling lines from the lettering, then I used grade 400 and 600 wet and dry on a block of wood to even everything out, then used grade 3000, 4000 and 6000 wet and dry on a foam block, finished off with a soapy wash then some meggys metal polish on one of those small hard fluffy white discs, the 1 inch diameter ones.

Top work :thumbup:

Thats the problem with Aluminium parts like that, they never stay looking good. Had you looked at sticking some varnish or something over it to stop it corroding again??

I binned mine (in the cupboard anyway) and made a CF one so it couldn't corrode. :D
