i definitely plan on using the cleaner on everything non electric and sanding them as well. Your probably right about the rag thing. What would someone recommend for grits? I used 150 for my valve covers and that was it. I was thinking something like 150 and 300. I would do three different grits if need be. Ill also be painting my block as well but i wont be able to take it out of the engine bay unfortunately. Mineral spirits on that too ya think too? I'm so excited to start this its insane. Also i was told use regular chrome paint and do a high heat clear coat. What do u all think?
