How to Polish this Titanium Piece?

[ARizzle]

Hey there guys! It's been awhile since I've posted, but I recently acquired a Titanium Alternator Cover made by ARC. I purchased it used, and obviously it has some wear on it, but is still in obviously great condition!

I am curious as to how I can get it looking brand new again, or as close to new as possible...again, it is made of titanium.

Here is a pic...

That thing looks really cool! What is the purpose of having a alternator cover? Is it going on your Z?

Thanks, I'm going to have a look at this!

Thanks Prelude, I purchased it used from a '07 STi, but it'll fit my '13 STi. It's a shame that they went out of business; they are back but aren't making anywhere near as much products as they did before...such a shame

Kk, thanks bamboo!

Lol, thanks Avalon! To be honest, it is mostly there just for "JDM Bling"...there is a stock one on my car right now, but this is just a replacement, although, with the vents, it may direct the heat elsewhere...again, mostly just to replace the plastic stock one for some shiny stuff under the hood And I've really been meaning to change my Signature, I was supposed to get the Z originally, but I went with the STi instead

"Clean and shiny" titanium is going to oxidize rather quickly---under hood heat will tend to accelerate this process.

Do you plan on having this piece CC'd after you've polished it?
Have you considered having it "chromed"?

I wasn't planning on having it CC'd after being polished. Never even considered that option to be honest. Will having it CC'd ruin the finish on it?
