Refresh the topic a little gentlemen - I have a lot of elements in the engine which I put together with water sprouted - they look perfect, like new - I have an oil pan - the element is quite large and not exposed enough - which would be expensive for glassblasting - so I want to clean it myself - I thought it with Dimer and chemicals for washing engines - it is completely clean, there are no black traces of oil and carbon deposits - but it is still gray and not uniformly bright.

It says about some acids - but I don't know how to get citric or ammoniacal acids - they are not in my toolbox - and I don't know how to be glazed - and does it have to be a bath? the bowl is quite large.

Is it smooth or porous? Have you considered polishing with a polish and a polishing pad?

We purchase hydrofluoric acid in a chemical reagent store.
Certainly such are the case with polytechnic universities.
I don't know if anyone can buy.
Apply with a brush (paint thickly) and after a quarter of an hour rinse with water - not to the sewage system, environmental class 8 ADR

As I mentioned - most of the elements are sprouted - they look like new - they are satin light gray - just bare aluminum - and this finish suits me best - so the polisher is not very much - and two - the bowl is cast - locally nicely finished - in other places a little less.
