I picked up an Edelbrock STR-12 aluminum crossram intake for my 340 and it has been polished sometime in the past. The finish is dull and doesn't look very impressive. I started to try brightening the finish with some aluminum polish but it is going slow. At this point I'm not sure I want to continue especially if I am going to have to repolish it over and over as time goes by. I'm up in the air about if I should keep it polished, media blast it to a raw aluminum finish or paint it orange to match the block. I've never ran a polished intake before and would like to know, will I have to repolish it on a regular basis? Also, what is your aluminum intake finish of choice?
