Does anyone know or have opinions on the correct way to restore the original finish on a rear end? I am pretty sure the rear end came from the factory without paint. I had thought about blasting the rear and then shooting it with high temp clear but I am not sure if that would be the correct finish. Any thoughts? What would you or have you done?

 

Might check this out. Chazman posted this somewhere and I saved it... amazing!

Wow, that stuff seems pretty trick - the rear end in the pics looks really good. I have some "Marine Clean" by POR 15 I am going to try on a small area and see what I get. I like the idea of doing it with a chemical (vs blasting) as I think it will have less chance of altering the finish of the metal surface. If that doesn't work I might buy some of that Ridrust.
