    Cool polishing ecotec manifold

    hey all,
    gonna get a spare manifold - which has been chemically cleaned.
    and i wanna polish it right up myself.
    anyone got any tips?

    i was thinking putting it on the wire wheel at work, so that should bring it up to a satisfactory state. what should i do after that?

    cheers

    You're going to be there for a LONG time. It's a rough surface to start with and full of tight little spaces.
