My winter project(and a few questions)

[VortecGT]

im polishing my intake runners, just started today and this is my first time at polishing anything. Just doing this took about 6 hours. My question is what do you guys use to get in the tight spots? I'm using a 6 inch medium buffing wheel and i can't get to some spots!

cut the ****** that joins the 3 together, it makes it SO much easier to work on & you don't need them joined together anyway!
the tight spots will still need to be done by hand.
Lookin Good! How did you start the process?

I sandblasted them(I know that as a bad move!) then removed the castings, sanded with 180 then 320 then 1000. After that buffed with a brown compound then white compound. Can you really cut the flanges?

i dont see what it would hurt, nice job by the way.

yea, cut them into individual runners that each have their own set of bolt holes to bolt them back onto the plenum

also helps w/ installing them w/o scratching up all your hard work, as one set of runners no longer has to slip into the other set

A polishing wheel for a Dremel helps a lot to get into the tight spaces, compared to a 6" wheel.
