I thought Zoops was for polished aluminum.

Has anyone tried my DriWash Metal Polish? The first time I used it, I could not believe the results. I used it on polished aluminum, and with very little effort, it made the aluminum look like chrome! It works awesome on any untreated metal: aluminum, stainless, sterling silver, copper, you name it.

3 months or so to have it done. Rough prices only as they haven't actually seen the pieces.

Brand new aluminum timing cover and brand new aluminum water pump (obviously no rust or pitting to remove), about $100-$150 each. New original alternator bracket (again, no rust or pitting) about $40 or $50. I also want my shifter handle done but it has rust and pitting so didn't get a price

On their website they have some quotes and a full sized fender seems to be about $500-$600

If I bring in my stuff next week (they're just 2 towns over) I can have it back in mid-January, which is when the engine should be about ready to go back in.

I replaced all the chrome on mine when it was repainted this year. Don't expectrepo pieces to fit like the originals. Some of my newpieces needed a little persuasion but it turned out nice.
