A lot of the 6 drives in the pits at the Key West races looked like they had a coating on them. They looked awfully good to just be scotchbrited and wd40.
Anyone know what they use?

I did a lot of work on mine with scotch brite discs and an air grinder and then wet sanding. I reconfigured the water inlet after this pic was taken. I've never had to clean it though.
