I am old and lazy… so I really don’t want to deal with this. The previous owner of my car didn’t clean up under the hood, so the aluminum is corroded. I am looking for someone, or some place that does engine bay detailing. This is what it looks like (only I replaced the beer can with a blower) ![http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs181.snc1/6008_1021607756587_1716998360_39107_1353856_n.jpg](http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs181.snc1/6008_1021607756587_1716998360_39107_1353856_n.jpg) It’s not terrible, but the blower will need to be cleaned up as well. I am not looking to have it/or anything polished. I just want the corrosion removed, and then shit cleaned. ---

I don’t know… It feels like 100-150 grit right now, but rubs off easy. > [@Viper966](#): > > Just use some aluminum polish and a rag… it should pull off corosion easily I think you guys missed the part where I mentioned being old and lazy, and wanting to find someone I could pay to do it for me. I might even stand (well sit) drink beer, and watch that person work. That’s always a good time. ---
