[Northeast Rod Run]

That's a ton of work. if you try polishing just one, you will see how much of a deal it is to buy them already polished.

for the average guy, I think it's best to start off with sandpaper rolls (or whatever they're called) on an air grinder and the heavier grit scotchbrite discs. A huge help when using the sandpaper rolls is to load them up with "grinder's grease". it's amazing how much that stuff helps. besides that a dremel and lots of sore fingers will do the job. I usually will work my way up to about a 1200 or 1600 grit paper before I start hitting the parts with Tripoli and White Roughe compounds for the final finish

I've polished a lot of rough parts (intakes, beat up half-shafts, cast waterpumps, rear trailing arms, rims, etc), and the worst thing I ever had to do was a dual quad tunnel ram intake. I'll never touch one of those again
