I just installed a radiator overflow reservoir and intercooler reservoir on my Cobra. They are both from LFP, and in the matte finish. I am just curious as to what products I should use to take care of them (ie: clean/shine/protect). Any ideas?

one thing you could do is polish them and spray a clear on them. My grandpa does this with his tanks on his semi and it seems to work and last a long time. Although some people will say this is stupid because it will be hard to get the clear off after you put it on

Just use a good quality alum polish everytime you do your car and they'll be fine. If you want, just use you car wax on them as a protectant. Keep it clean and it will last as long as your car! If it does get baked with oil or grease, use a "scratch pad", follow the lines of the piece and then wax!!

Wax it. Dont depend on polish since it doesnt offer any protection.
