Dave fine steel wool with mass metal polish on your intake try it you will be surprised it will look almost like chrome they call it polished aluminum and it will look like my AC condenser. It will be free the only price will be a couple knuckel scrapes during polishing.

yes but be careful that will scratch the fine finish on the fuel rails. you could easily polish the crap out of it in one day and it would look really cool.

Never dull, brasso, or any polish and a rag will put a mirror finish on your fuel rails, AC condensor and lines, brake lines, alternator support, or any of the smoother metal surfaces. The rougher surfaces will require some more work to first smooth(ie Dremel) them, then shine them.
Just takes some up keep to keep the corrosion or spots from coming back. When I first did mine, it looked amazing. Now that I'm lazy, I just shine up the fuel rails.

attention to detail under the hood is also important. Be careful with armor all all dust,dirt sticks to it.
