This is going to be my first time doing this and I need a little help getting started. This is what I'm wanting to do.
I want the visible stock aluminium parts polished, like the Intake manifold, Alternator, A/C, A/C lines,...
Is that all I need? Do I need to do any sanding to make the parts smooth.
Thanks for any help!

and sorry for being long winded. that kit is a good choice just be careful of the sisal wheel. i personally dont use sisal on aluminum, its to aggresive and can do more harm than good if not careful. as for sanding most likely you will need to sand the parts first. start as fine a grit as possible to get the scratches/ casting marks out. i suggest starting at 220 and see how it looks. if it needs more back up to 180,120. work this up to at least 400 wet if not 600 wet. then start wheeling. be sure to read the online buffing manual also for info on cut and color motion it makes a difference when you move to brown and white. also make sure that you only use 1 compound per wheel or you will contaminate your wheels and possibly make more work for yourself. lastly when done be sure to coat your new polished work w/a good quality sealing polish such as maas or a high grade carnuba wax. or possibly zoopseal. best of luck bro and if you have a camera take pics before and after and post in the album at the top of this page so we can all see the fine work you do.
