polishing fuel rail?

I can't find the old post about polishing or cleaning the fuel rail. I want to know what product works real well. I remember reading something a long time ago about a product that rubbed on and off. Suppost to work real well. Anyone know?

I just cleaned mine up recently when I had my intake powdercoated. I cleaned the fuel rail with just some metal polishing compound and a rag. I forget the name of it, got it at the parts store but it was a liquid type metal polish compound It didn't take much work for it to come up looking really nice, and it looks really sweet along with the red intake now.

I used Never Dull on mine. Worked good.

I'll move this over to the Appearance Section and copy it to the Show and Shine forum for you too since it can probably go in either of those

Yep.. I did mine with Mothers Aluminum Polish, and they looked pretty good. Recently I tried the new Mothers Incredible Billet Polish ($14 for a very tiny jar... ) and they look even better.

I did search the appearance section but most of the crap was fuel rail covers.

Thanks for the reply. Mother's does right a bell. That may have been the product I was trying to think of.

Mother's billet polish will work on all aluminum. Doesn't take much work either. I used it on all the aluminum in my engine bay, including the A/C lines.
