I'm looking at things like Blue Magic's all metal polish and mother's mag/aluminum polish. Any recommendations?

the blue magic works well, but to get a regular intake to shine you need a high speed buffer

How about a mothers polishing ball attached to a drill?

haven't tried that, but my dremel barely turns fast enough to polish an intake it may work but you'll be standing there until next year

That sucks, so no matter what I tried I could not get it to even shine a little (at least get the condensation off)? I was hoping I could polish my intake and my alt.

they are cast you need to knock all that casting off most pros use a stand buffer that looks like a bench grinder

Chris- about the best thing I can recommend to do is take the alt and intake off and use a combination of a wire wheel on a grinder and some smaller things such as a dremel to get into the smaller spots. I did it to my intake and with a little elbow grease, paint and some patience you can take a normal lookin intake and make it look like something.

Also- there are some products that are avail to use thru a sand blaster that would take off the factory crappy look to it.

Chris -- There's a guy by the name of Todd on LS1tech, basically, almost his whole engine bay is polished, and he's got a write-up on how to polish everything up to a chrome look.



here's the link!

I managed to polish mine to a chrome finish using just a rag and mothers aluminum polish. Maybe a previous owner did it with a machine a long time ago, because i thought that was cake.
