are you trying to polish the whole thing...all I polished was the bits that are proud (with a flap sander on the electric dril) and sprayed the rest....I don't think that you can really get it all to a good finish ...if you want that get it chromed...there was a guy on ebay that did it

ive been cleaning up my mates 2.5 only for him to decide to put a 3.5 in.

and because most of the stuff is cast its hard if not imposible to remove all the pits and casting marks to a good finish. so what we did was sand blast everything we could and then give a light coat of decent lacqur(spelling) came up really well, the parts we wern't too happy about because didn't have long on the sandblaster we sprayed silver or satin black.
