You could go the hardcore route and polish your entire engine.Said John.With no fingers left, and a compulsive urge to eat Autosol out the tube.

Carb soda blasted with my air blo gun and two foot of fuel line.

Here is my high tech blasting setup. Total cost was price of the baking soda. Everything else was laying around the garage.

We use Landa L-209 Aluminum Brightener (Uses a blend of ammonium bifluoride and sulfuric acid) and neutralizer with a Landa Hot water pressure washer.
It works good on the entire bike and keeps them looking new for years.

It works good but without the acid it does not work as well.
Likewise, the acid without the hot water does not work as well.
It is the combination of the two that is dynamite.
I would never have believed it and spent the money on it if a friend of mine who is in the business demonstrated it to me.

Hahaha. You even got the name right... Just no "h" in Jon! This was done with toothbrush and varsol, then toothbrush with Dakota aluminum cleaner, then one go with Mother's aluminum polish. Was a ton of work, finger's were very tired.
