I definitely wouldn't use steel wool to clean anything you care about unless it is bare metal... I used it to remove paint that's all.
All I'm saying is be careful with your paint.... they don't put warnings on the can for nothing... it stripped my oem paint pretty damn good so be careful that's all I'm saying.
Your bay is looking really good though, I hadn't really noticed the white on the block, TB, etc. until you mentioned it... that's really hawt all that clean whiteness in an engine bay:drool:
