How to protect the shine on engine cases/chrome and exhaust?

[Guest]

Will Mother's polish protect this stuff? I want to avoid any further oxidation since I've spent countless hours making it pretty. Will Mother's protect my exhaust or does the heat burn it off? Should I apply turtle wax on the cases/chrome or is Mother's the same thing? I am about to polish my cases and want to preserve the finish without reapplying clearcoat. I am confused.......suggestions?

D,

While I was doing research into what clear coat I could put on some of my now polished case covers, I ran across a few paste/liquid products that are for protectants for aluminum. An example here in this link:

Search for "aluminum wax" with google etc.

If you are interested in clear coat down the road, I found some stuff that is supposed to work great. It's called VHT engine enamel. It comes in colors as well as clear coat. It is resistant to oils and gasoline and either cures with engine heat or your oven (300 degrees). It's being shipped to me this week and I will already have some of my case covers finished before we meet up at the Galena ride.

Excellent. I just finished buffing the cases and adding the new gaskets, what a difference. Used mothers to protect it but yeah, I want to make sure they do not get as bad as they were..........
