what do i need to start to polishing the aluminum perts i.e. intake manifold valve covers ect

 

get a dremel with a polishing pad/tip - try on your moms car parts first til you get the look you desire. have some extra time? polish your wheels too

 

your gona need diff grits of sandpaper, a good polish like mothers and most of all your gona need alot of time.

 

I started with the small stuff. A few of the aluminum lines..





I don't think I'll tackle the intake manifold just yet
I've heard its a PITA. Anyone seen a 2K2/2K3 with it polished?

 

I use Mothers Aluminum/Magnesium Polish. Comes in a little jar about the size of a baby food jar for about $3.00. It works really well for my wheels, aluminum lines in the engine bay, and any other metal parts in the engine bay.
