Default Tried to clean up the engine bay

Well, I finally got around to painting my twins piping and polishing the comp housing on my secondary and started the valve cover and intake horn. The turbo was alot more than I was expecting. It took me forever to get the cast marks and letering off but it turned out sorta ok I guess. I need to hit it some more but I just lost focus:Cheer:. I started the air horn and valve cover lettering but didnt make it too far on them. I still have alot to do but the under hood section will someday look as good as it runs:hehe:. Any tips to make this easier? I plan to do the primary too I guess I should have practiced on it first.

The engine was spotless about 1 1/2 hours before those pics. I took it down to the shop and simple green'ed the crap out of it and hit it with the mega psi washer. I tried to do a little more on the valve cover and intake horn after that and got aluminum and junk everywhere.
