Question Supplies for Metal Polishing?

Hey guys,

I'm thinking of trying my luck at polishing some select pieces.

Where do I get the supplies to do it with?

Thanks, in advance!

What would be "select pieces"? Some things are very easy to polish, like a/c lines, others are a little bit more time consuming, like your intake. The basic supplies would be a dremel tool (with sanding drums and polishing drums), sand paper (320,400,600,1000,1500,etc....grits), sanding block, and a good metal polish (mothers works good for me). Then it takes a lot of elbow grease and a few cuss words and bodda-bing, you have poilshed metal

I have the dremel and the stones. I was wondering more about the compounds and such to give it that final luster.

I am going to try my luck at polishing my stock wheels first to see how that comes out.
