Getting Factory Aluminum Finish Back

[Born30YrsLate]

If an aluminum part has been bead blasted, is there a way to get the factory aluminum color/finish back?
All input is appreciated!

Fred........After Glass Beading........Use this.....Follow the Directions and you'll probably have to do a couple of applications to "Even" out the finish and eliminate any streaking



and then it will turn out like this

There is that word again.

The aluminum looks great. I need to get some of that. The cleaner that is, not the nappy.

If you hit the manifold with plastic media after bead blasting it will level out the finish. Oven cleaner followed by dry fine steel wool also gives good results.

I'm a big fan of the Eagle 1 stuff. I used it on an old GM dual quad intake without blasting it and had almost the same results.

If the blasting was thoroughly done, shouldnt really need a product afterwards to even it out. I prefer a fine steel wool rub down after blasting:
