If you clear it, it will yellow. What I do is after a good cleaning, Spray a little Krylon brand Dull Aluminum paint and dab it with a paper towel absorbing the access paint off. Don't wipe it or the paper towel pieces will roll up on the intake. Just dab it and do a little place at a time until the whole thing is done and it will look like a new intake. I did the one on my truck and after 2 years of driving on the weekends it still looks new. I read it in a Hot Rod magazine once and it really works.
