if you got the surface smooth, i would go to town with mothers.
300 grit may not be smooth enough as a start for mothers though.

  So I pulled out an upper intake and tried polishing part of it.  Got =
down to 300 grit pretty quickly, then tried a polishing wheel with a red =
bar of compound.  I tried that for quite a while and it didn't do a =
thing (though the guy selling the bars and stuff said that's the one to =
use for aluminum).  I'm beginning to think he sold me a giant red =
crayon.

  How do you guys get a near mirror finish on your manifolds and such? =
How fine a grit do you use to sand?  Do you use polishing compound to =
finish it up?   Somebody clue me in, please!

  Brian
