My CTA intake has lost all of its luster, it has oxidation spots all over it... What can I use to get it shining again? :help:

Aren't those jet hot coated? Not sure what would be the best for cleaning them up.

I think I will try this first since it is simpler, LOL... I will see how it looks and then maybe consider sanding...

If it is bare aluminum, use the eagle one, that stuff rocks.

One more thing on the subject on the intake, not cleaing it (why start a new thread)...
With the '95s you just screw the IAC into the intake... There is not really much of a seal, metal to metal... Does it matter though?

For the record, Nevr-Dull wadding polish from Eagle One is great for polishing chrome. Puts a nice shine on it, and is as simple to use as wax. Apply, then buff off.
I also stand by this stuff! It also removes carbon very effectively, as I know from the exhaust tips on my RX-7.
I would also consider Meguiar's NXT All Metal Polish as it does seem to provide protection the Eagle One does not.

I bought the Mother's Mini Buffing Ball, word of caution.... not worth 20 bucks.:nonono: Just thought i'd let everyone know.

Wow. True dat. This stuff is ridiculously easy to use. You just pull a chunk out and "wax" the area you want shiney, then buff it off with a clean rag. I used it for the first time this weekend. It BLOWS Megs/Mothers metal (exhaust tip) polishes out of the water. I am in love....For the record, Nevr-Dull wadding polish from Eagle One is great for polishing chrome.

I pick this up this weekend and I'm very pleased with the results I got from it. I have spoked type rims and this ball did the trick, but I feel it was more of me spending more time on the rims since all I had to do was hold my drill. The real surprised was with my exhaust tips, I use some Eagle One never dull and put this ball on them and BAM!!!! it was like looking in a mirror, especially on the inside, the ball fits perfectly for a solid buffing action.
