Re: easy way to get these to shine?????

itll take a while but try some 800 grit sand paper, then move to 100 grit then finally 2000. If you spray surface Klean from dupont on the 2000 sandpaper youl get a deadly shine, this is what i used for the fuel rails, intake manifold, and brackets while my engine is out.

if you sand them.. go 800-1000-2000! Dont use 100 grit!!!

But I'm recommend trying that mother's powerball.

sand them down like those guys said. go to www.speedymetalpolish.com this is by far the best stuff. just one wipe across a stained polished metal like discolored brake lines. they shine like chrome in 5mins.... stuff is unreal. i made my ac lines and unit and fuel rails shine like glass without even sanding them. i sanded and poished my slotted/drilled rotors and they look like chrome and even after using the brakes they still look good 3,000miles later..

Re: easy way to get these to shine?????

everything i have ever polished i did it dry, you could also put a small amount of polish on the sand paper if you wanted. i then used a hand drill with a buffer wheel on the end,so i could give my arms a rest from buffing.
