Mad Props to Carl
I talked to Carl last night on the phone. And I was telling him about my fuel rail and such. I told him earilier I thought about painting it with the aluminum high temp paint. He then suggested instead to try using steel wool, and wow it looks sweet! 
It is really cleaning up the grease oil, and such. And also the goldish brass ugly paint. The rail is really turning out shiny, and it is going to look sweet on my engine! 
I am also thinking about using it on my EGR, and anything else that has that ugly goldish paint. It is probably going to take me a couple more days to get the rail all cleaned up. I already went through one piece of steel wool, not much left of it. Later on I want to try it on my stock 6 spoke Z wheels, and see if that gets the years of black tar grease and grime. Couldn't hurt I suppose, anyway steel wool is the way to go thanks to Carl! 
Thanks for the tip man, and I also plan on using it on my headers, it is going to look sweet as can be!

Yeah, steel wool works wonders. I used a wire wheel on my 6-spokers and valve cover, and they turned out wonderful. I just left them bare after brushing them down, but the reccomended way would be to put a polish of some sort on it, for good measure.
