Polishing compound and a dremel... with a lot of patience I believe.

I'm interested in having the plenum and valve cover polished to close to chrome. Anyone know who does this for cheap?

Believe HIM

My son has dabbled in this...with only a drill and a dremel.
He has produced VERY good results, but without the proper tooling you can only get so far....

Paul can do what "we" can do in hours what takes us DAYS....

To everyone who says dremel...f that idea. I've been through about 4 dremels in the last year, they just aren't very tough. Get a rotozip and never look back...it's basically a dremel on steroids...or if you really want something heavy duty, get a foredom. They make "woodworking" tools that are basically like a dremel with a flex shaft. I think they even have a 1/2HP model.
