The start of my polished manifolds


I have just started this, I have gone over it with 120 & 220 grit for about an hour each, I still have to use up to 1500grit/use the steel wool/and buff it..

just a hint:
if you bead blast your intake first it will save you a lot of time! Hell, after I blasted mine, I decided to just leave it.
Looks good.
