little side project help needed

[D15CO D4VE]

I have an old turbo lying round and have decided I want to clean it up and make a funky ornament out of it but without it costing much... Right what I need to know is what's the best way to clean it up?

[adeel_gt]

Have it polished

Rub it down with sandpaper and then stick a buffing wheel into the end of a drill?

[D15CO D4VE]

I'll give it a go, see how it goes... Anymore suggestions

[carreauchompeur]

Don't, it'll look st.

Try Jeyes fluid, (drain cleaner) it works on some alloys.
If it doesn't work it won't have broke the bank.
Finish with autosol and one of those green pan scouring pads or a skotchbrite 3m pad if your posh.

Stick some flowers in the end of it?

In the dishwasher?

If you're anywhere near Warrington, I have some of the cleaning powder that engine and gearbox reconditioners use in their cleaning machines. You're welcome to have some and it will bring that up a treat
