Hey Guys...
What would be the best way to polish stuff up to a near-as-possible mirror finish for stuff like the ISC, T/B, upper intake, thermostat, radiator brackers, Brake lines and ABS module? Kinda getting sick of the crap flat silver finish left on some items, and just want to get the engine bay up to scratch  -Tony

most of it you would probably have to do with plain old elbow grease just keep going to finer and finer grades until you get the finish you want and be prepared to polish the inside of your engine bay alot once you are done some of it you might be able to do with a dremel or something similar
