[QUOTE="69ST, post: 184678, member: 5"] FYI...these castings are zinc alloy. Most chemicals and media blasting...including wet-blasting (a.k.a. "vapor honing") will change the cast surface, permanently. Carb cleaner is one of the few "hot" solvents that won't affect the surface finish, including the rainbow-like iriditing, if it survived. This carb doesn't look like it started out badly, at all. You might be surprised to see what half of them look like, as-received/"before". Looks like yours turned out very nicely. [/QUOTE]
