60FlatTop Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) Detailing the engine bolts with a burnishing brush prior to showing the car is about the best way to present natural finished hardware. Here is a set of Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Fiberglass-Scratch-Brush-Pen-applications/dp/B07S3RCTGZ/ref=asc_df_B07S3RCTGZ/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=366352853698&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9486902390158326716&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9005570&hvtargid=pla-815393027928&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=76503872856&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=366352853698&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9486902390158326716&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9005570&hvtargid=pla-815393027928 Industrial supply houses also list higher quality ones. I just saw these brass ones on Ebay right after I posted. I bought a set just now for myself. https://www.ebay.com/itm/224652910228?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28&srsltid=AfmBOoqjv1zbtbK6VNJh6A4qtWUnCG0D60KpU2BF5ultFi9bf_J4mAJ6yxU Edited August 25, 2023 by 60FlatTop (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gungeey Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 If you're concerned about light rust on exhaust bolts how about stainless hardware? Don't sweat it. Even new cars have light rust on bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
