Re: Getting Factory Aluminum Finish Back
Funny, Bill. Was wondering if someone would notice that.
 I guess it had been running a spacer at one time, but dont worry... short ones are in it now.

Re: Getting Factory Aluminum Finish Back
You can use the wheel cleaner and then wash with dishwashing liquid while scrubbing with fine steel wool or a green scotch brite pad. It gives it a sheen similar to what they had before blasting.

No "REAL" garage is complete without a couple of sleeves of 0000 Steel Wool!

Re: Getting Factory Aluminum Finish Back
I like alumi blast paint made by Seymour Paints.. If you look really close you can tell the part was painted but I think it is pretty close to the original finish plus it will protect the part. Plus if there is a stain it will cover nicely. I have used it on aluminum intake manifolds and it has held up very well...
