A final polish and few coats of Carnuba Wax.
I have to put on sweat pants and a nice soft T Shirt to clean the one in the Car now. As I will be climbing all over the fenders and header.
And have to pull the distributed out the motor, and the cross member off so as to drop the transmission down enough to clean it as well. I will use Speedy All Metal. Followed by Wax. The water beads off good enough.

Thanks for all the nice comments.
It did take much longer than I thought end was going to stop and finish later.
My herniated disk in neck and back are telling me I am old.
As far as that Zoop Seal I had tried it worked fine. My problem is parts get dirty even towing and not really driving.
So needs cleaning just like the painted items. So like wash and wax. Light clean with Wenol Red or Speedy and Wax. Never ever use Speedy 1st Step. It is for badly kept items and leaves scratches that are not removed by the All Metal.
The polished just needs cleaned and waxed maintenance just like chrome and paint.

What is,really funny now is I used to live 3 miles from a Super Shops. They had a,B&M blower that was ( Dick Landry )
Every time I went it was in the glass case and would have fit under the R/T Hood but only came as cast not polished for small block Molar.
So I never got one.
A year later I started really doing alot a Stainless Restrations and Polishing.
I regret not getting one.

Wow!

Shiny chrome and polished aluminum isn't my thing, but mad respect for people that can do this level of polishing. I have trouble sanding wood and getting it to look smooth under paint, LOL.

Absolutely amazing how smooth that came out. thumbs
