Hey, guys. I'm new to the board. My question is in regards to what can be done to restore the shine if the engine detailer gets evaporated away. I had used an engine cleaner at a do-it-yourself car wash and hadn't rinsed off the detailer before I left. Some engine detailers don't require rinsing prior to driving. Anyway, when I got home, I noticed the front of the manifold now had a dull finish to it and the shine was gone. :-( Is there any way I can restore it to it's original shine? A friend had advised sanding the dull areas and then using an aluminum polish compound. I haven't tried that yet. I'm thinking if all else fails, I can paint those areas with similar color engine enamel? Thanks for the help.
