So i decided to polish my uim today, was kinda sick of havin the "hotboy" painted manifold. Figured out a great way to polish. No sandpaper, no dremel ****. Took me about a hour and a half total to do the job, and I can literally see myself in the manifold. Sorry the pics are a little blurry and blocky cuz I'm using someone elses computer to resize.

Looks good. How did you polish it?

Hit that with some 400 grit then some 600. Mirror finish.

yeah how did you do it?

Im not even sure what the thing was called, but its like this circular scrubby that I hooked up to the plug in drill, then polished away with it. It turned the manifold to a chrome finish on contact
