Polishing is fun, but time consuming.

Looking good so far!

I tried polishing my UIM myself...
Oh boy, BIG mistake!
It was a royal PITA!

If you can find as shop that does this professionally, I'd recommending just paying them to do it.
Your time is worth more than wasting your time polishing these things. :P

Yeah I've read its quite horrible and time consuming. I doubt I'll be doing it for many reasons. The other is that it's kinda like making a clean spot in the mud.... everything else will look like shit in comparison. IMHO I think polish should wait till it's the last addition to a fully dressed engine bay.
