Stop aluminum issues

[piecesparts]

If you want to keep it bright, there are a couple of things to consider, either chrome everything, OR polish the parts and coat them with the ZOOPS compound. I have a fair amount of polished items under my hood and I use a metal sealer treatment from Wizards polishes to keep dirt and corrosion out of the pores of the aluminum. I have a polished radiator, windshield washer container, radiator overflow, master cylinder cover, power steering cap, hose brackets, A/C dryer/canister, and many other things, usch as billet wheels. I usually polish once a yeara and clean up the rest of the year to keep dust off. The metal treatment does make a difference

These are your best options. Betond that you can polish them then use clear paint to protect them, but it will take some of the shine off.

Another optionis to have the HPC or Jet coated. It's not as bright as chrome, and looks a little more blue than polished aluminum but it holds up very nicely.
