Default Polishing ,Cleaning Engine Bay Project - Daily Beater

About a month ago I had some wiring harness failure,so I took the harness out to repair it.
While I had it out, I decided to chop some conectors off,one thing after another I found myself chopping engine harness,re-routing coolant,power steering and vacuum lines,relocating things,replacing my old Titan intake manifold for NUNEZTT manifold with Wilson T/B,sanding and polishing everything I could remove that was fairly easy to re-install .I also decided to get rid of all red couplers and vacuum lines and swap them out for black couplers with new T-bolt clamps .I'm sure I'm forgetting some smaller things,but here are the ones I remember.

Sanded & Polished parts:

NUNEZTT intake manifold
Wilson T/B with quick release V-band clamp
Valve Covers
Intercooler Piping
HKS BOV
Coil Pack Cover
Turbo Housing
Turbo Heat Sheild (built by Stage6 Motorsports)
Alternator
HKS Fuel rail
U/R Pulleys
AEM Cam Gears
Timing Belt Tensioner
Drive Belt Tensioner,Bracket,Absorber(clearcoated)
Upper Radiator Pipe
Upper Waterneck
Thermostat Housing Waterneck
PWR Radiator
Radiator Show Plate (made by yours truly)
Radiator Hold Down Brackets (made by yours truly)
Deflector Plate with sandblasted logo of my shop
Brass Fittings
Custom Battery Holder for Optima
A/C lines(not installed)

Relocated :

Power Steering Reservoir(next to brake booster)
ABS Relay Box (in right fender well)
Charcoal Canister(under intake manifold)
Fuel Pressure Regulator(next to brake booster)
HKS DLI(left fender well)
Ignitor(left fender well)
HKS BOV discharge hose (routed in left fender well for less noise)

One of the first pics has TRD strub bar I just laid down to see if it flows,but I'm not sure,I'll probably keep it off
