Just follow the directions. Since it IS acid based, make sure that you rinse thoroughly and dry it off right away.
It will not leave a "shiny" surface. It will be a "bright" surface. Very uniform, but white in appearance. To make it shiny, polishing is the only way to go.

Best, and thanks for the Posi-Quiet recommendation. No dust is very cool.

Thanks for the link! I am not trying to get a polished look. I would like to get a look similar to when the engine was brand new with no oxidation. anyone know if painting the engine with some clear high heat ceramic paint will prevent future oxidation? I don't want to paint the engine silver or anything like that as it would just look cheap. I only intend to paint or powder coat the valve covers.

Gald to hear you like the Posi Quiet pads. They are great pads! It is only a matter of time before others on this site discover them.
