I purchased a Cobra 65 mm throttle body and it was pretty filthy when I got it. I've wirebrushed off most of the grime on the outside of it, but I was wondeirng if anyone had any advice on something I could polish it with to get a little more shine.

Also, there is a lot of buildup on the inside of the throttle body, should I wirebrush this as well or is there a better method? Thanks in advance!

gunk intake cleaner and patience. The intake cleaner has lubricant that help keep the carbon off the butterfly.

As for polishing, that will be a pain. i used a dremel polishing kit on my friends 5.0...thought it took forever, the results were good.
