Polishing a Weiand intake

I am in the process of polishing an intake for a friend, here are some before pictures and progress pictures. I have only done the top portion so far, he told me he didn't care too much about the injector areas since they aren't very visible once installed. I plan to hit them some but they won't shine like the top. Below are the steps I used to get to this point so far.

Started with steel wool
Wet sanded with 320 grit
Wet sanded with 1000 grit
Wet sanded with 2000 grit
Hand polished with Simichrome
