How do I clean the outside of an alternator?
What is the best way to cosmetically clean an alternator? I don't want to take it apart…just a quick spruce-up of the outside. I was thinking steel wool…but I don't want little shavings to get inside.

Use a Dremel with a stiff buffer for cleaning, then a little metal polish using a less aggressive buffer. It will come out like new. Won't even have to remove it if you don't want to. I tend to use this method on everything the different buffers available let you get to all the nooks & grannies everywhere on the car, removes rust, grease, you name it. Some say it's a little slow going I say if it's for yourself where's the fire. Results are the bottom line. I would like to be able to use my arms when I'm 65, so I let the Dremel do the heavy scrubbing.
