It may be hard to tell, but I spent about ten minutes working on the left hand side of that valve cover on the top of this picture. The right hand side is still, nasty dirty and pitty. I left it just to show the contrast. But if you look back at earlier pics of my engine on this blog you'll probably see a noticeable difference. I used various size brass brushes in my Dremel to clear up dirt, grime and to shine up the surface. I'm pretty happy with the speed at which it cleaned off. I used some Brasso Polish afterwards which lifted even more grime up. I think if I slowly work over the whole engine with this technique it will be decent enough for engine viewing at a car show. I'm not looking to win any contests. I just want to have a tidy car.
