Question: I want to clean/polish an aluminum motorcycle engine. Would walnut shell be the best media for the job? I want a clean, lightly polished look typical of stock bikes.
Response: Walnut Shell Grit will clean the surfaces relatively well but will not have an impact on the surface finish. A Medium-Fine or Fine Glass Bead will clean the metal and leave a satin-like finish on the surface.
