I've polished the engine up a few times now and usually use Gunk engine lacquer to inhibit tarnishing. Stays good for about 4-5 months before i have to sand off the lacquer, repolish and relacquer.

 

Thing is the lacquer makes it go from mirrored finish to matt, stills looks good but was wondering if there's anything better i could use to keep it looking spangley?

What component are you talking about? I take it you mean the inlet?? Is it polished (casting marks removed) or natural?

I would stay away from Lacquer as it will go brown and end up being an ass to remove.

 

Polish all the parts up then wipe them with baby oil, will look nice for a while and comes off no problem at all.

i dont want to lose anyone with my technical gab, but it's the lumpy top bits of the engine i'm talking about :)
