write to you this Christmas Eve to talk about Ferraris. Specifically, I want to 
ask about cleaning aluminum. I have always used cloth, steel wool or 
ScotchBrite lubricated with WD40 or lacquer thinner and I like the results. 
However, the finish does not look 'new'. I'd like to know a technique to get 
that really clean white-aluminum finish of freshly cast aluminum. I've tried 
media blasting but the shop I visited used steel balls not glass, plastic or 
shells. The result was a dull gray finish that I didn't like. I ended up 
painting the part with 'Cast Coat Aluminum' engine paint - a sad, second-class 
solution, if attractive.> > So today I ask; How does one get that 'new part' 
aluminum finish?> > best regards,> > rick>
