Re: Valve cover insignia maintenance
PROPSAIL, You would need to follow the Illustrated and get it down below the oxidation before you can keep it up with just a light polishing.

Re: Valve cover insignia maintenance
Theres some great suggestions already in this thread, but I typically use either clearkotes metal polish or megs billet alum polish for any metal work. You can also try some wd40 when the area is still hot

Actually, with the forecast today for sunny and 65, we're taking the GTS to Car Toys to discuss "options." Screw yard work. |

Re: Valve cover insignia maintenance
2000 grit was a great tip. I did that with a sanding block and I used high heat clear with a q-tip to put a coat of protection on.

Re: Valve cover insignia maintenance
Like Newport Viper I buffed them out using 800 to 1000 to 1500 to 2000 grit sandpaper and a sanding block. I taped the painted part as best I could using blue painters tape. After sanding I applied a couple coats of Klasse All-In-One. They look better then like new.
