Best way to clean alum?
Wondering if any of you had a secret weapon for cleaning and polishing aluminum? Putting engine in my old truck today and would like to clean up the intake and carb some. Not going to go nuts on it today but when I build my other engine I would like it to shine under the hood.

In all honesty if its just a cast aluminum that you want to look bright again. Use some degreaser and a little elbow grease. Vht makes a paint that looks exactly like natural cast aluminum just picked some up for my 406 to clean up the old single plain. Looks brand new and if hadn't painted it myself I wouldnt know it was paint... if your wanting it to shine nothing beats sand paper followed by some buffing compound

1:1 Muriatic acid sprayed on with a garden sprayer onto the aluminum, rinse off well after 3 minutes. Works sweet.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
