Cleaning aluminium motorcycle engine parts

I would like to find out how to brighten aluminium motorcycle cylinders, valve covers and crank cases.

Hi, Robert. If you can reach it with a buffing wheel, mechanical polishing is always best.

We have a great thread, letter 800, on polishing aluminum; as well as an interesting thread, letter 11151, on formulating "Moonshine" aluminum polish.

Regards,
