Hey guys,
I've had good luck with caswell products in the past, polishing my 1984 toyota supra wheels, found here:

I did it by wetsanding by hand 320,400,600 and 1500 grit papers and finally polishing with white rouge. I have over 80 hours invested in the wheels and am happy with the results.
I am now polising hte upper intake manifold for the 7mge motor I am installing. I have filed off all the casting marks and have bee sanding for some time now with 50 grit or 80 grit, depending on the area. The results I have can be seen in these pictures:
I'm becoming frustrated with the progress I am making. I feel like I am getting close to as far as I can go by hand. I have a 3000rpm drill (which I used on the wheels), a die grinder aswell as a dremel tool (ready bo blow up). It's very difficult if not impossible to get into the edges by the flanges and the lille nooks and corners that you can see in the pictures. I post this message to ask for any suggestions some of you more experienced polishers may have for as far as tool choice...is there a way I can polish this properly and efficiently with tools, if so...what should I buy? I really don't think I can do it by hand.
Thanks for any advice you can lend,
Steve
