Default How do you keep the aluminum under the hood looking good?

I have a 6.0L w/aluminum heads... after you polish the heads, will they just get oxidized again? is there anything you can do to them to keep this from happening, or to keep them looking really good? how about the aluminum blocks? I would think any wax product would burn off the heads.

It's usually hard to keep Aluminum always shining.. you most likely will have to polish with a good Aluminum Polish , (Blue Magic Polish, Meguires Chrome Polysh) once in a while to maintaine that lustre and shine. I have the same problem under the hood, with my aluminum TTII wheels, and with my dual centermount SLP exhaust. Good luck dude!

You could try Zoop seal...it seems to be popular with the motorcycle crowd...a bit pricey, though:
