What could I use to clean the engine so it doesnt have that corroded look to it? The metal looks blotchy and dirty but when I try to wipe it off with something nothing happens...the rest of the car still looks beautiful except the engine block. I did the hoses and lines so those are pretty clean I just dont know what to do about the block. Heres a pic of what I mean...

Looking at the pics on that page the powder coat doesn't appear to conceal scratches and inconsistencies in the metal, But the colour comes out awesome and also on the plus side powder coat & oven bake goes on stronger than paint and wont get chipped off
