One of the parts that is commonly polished!

 

They are coated with a paint or powdercoat of sorts so will need stripping before polishing.

 

You wont get very far with autosol you will need something abrasive to remove the cast marks.

 

Then a compound to clean up the abrasive stage.

 

Followed by a lighter compound to bring on the shine.

 

you could do it with a polishing kit mounted on an electric drill if you have the patience.

Thanks Colin , seems like a removal is needed to get best results which equals seal replacement hmmm

Yes definitely need removing really. Its around £8 per gasket / seal IIRC. You may need to replace a few of the washers too.

 

Tlicense "Blitz twin turbo" thread has the part numbers if you do take them off.
