Default Sanding questions for tight spaces

Well, I was wondering if anyone has some sanding suggestions for tight spaces. I have a dremel that Im using but it seems the speeds are too high and really eat up the metal fast. Im trying to polish my intake manifold. Here are some pics.

The first pic shows how I sanded the smooth parts until the casting dimples were gone... I did all this by hand with 60 grit and it has left some bad scratches(at the top...hard do see in the pic). Im going to get a dual action sander tommorrow and start up with some 80grit. Any suggestions on sanding and polishing in between the letters?


This pic shows again its smooth but deep scratches... is the 60 grit too harsh?


This where the killer starts. The casting seems to be really bad and the dimples are deep and dont sand down well... any suggestions?
