Re: Cleaning aluminum intake

Prior to installation shoot it with a couple coats of cear coat .5 bucks at your local auto parts store. Also crc spray really cleans effortlesslly.

muratic acid, wash thoroughly with suds, air dry, shoot with VHT high temp clear in multiple THIN coats...it won't yellow.

I thought of that but I thought he was looking for the in the driveway fixup. By all means bead blast and then clear if you have the means.
