maintaining finish on magnesium

<< < (2/2)

dreracecar:
with brand new mag you can get away with PC, but old mag (because the corrorsion is already deep)you take a chance of them gassing off and bubbling the clear at 325* temp.  I think Gibbs brand would be a better choice then WD40 on the Dow7. I don't like Gibbs on polished mag as it dulls the shine that makes the mag look so good, at that point it looks like polished aluminum

Paul New:
I coat my hat in ATF if my car is going to be in the trailer for any length of time. In my shop I keep it clean with a light coating of ATF.  I use GIBBS also when I have it
