Default Engine fan clutch restore question
After painting the Fan I want to bring up the shine on the clutch How do you clean between all those aluminium fins? I want mine to look like Alan's. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks, Barry

Hi yyz1970,
I used the green scott pads, tooth brush and a drimmel tool brush with dawn and a lots of purple power. Cleaned her up real good.
Hope this helps.

Hi Barry,
I used a small very soft brass wire wheel on my bench grinder.
I like the Scotch pads and tooth brush too.
Then just a touch of semi flat clear.
Regards,
Alan
