How do I get my carburetors clean and super-shiny?

Straightforward one, this, chaps.

What do you use to clean the casing of your carbs and get it looking pukka?

Vapor blasting normally brings the exterior of carbs up pretty nice. Ultrasonic cleaning is more suitable for de-gunking the insides.

:plus:

the ultra sound bath is always first choice, I have then sprayed the carb with a laquer whish brings them up like new.
