Exclamation intake manifold polishing

Couple questions:

1.) What grit sandpaper should i end with prior to polishing?

2.) What kind of polish and wheel is at a decent cost that will do the job?

3.) If online a link please!

Thanks!!!

Ok i did not know you had all of the wheels and grinders. What i use is all from eastwood.

Forget sandpaper
1 greaseless compound 80 to 320 put it on the wheel and it acts like sandpaper (best part no hand sanding)
2 black compound
3 white compound
4 mothers polish

dont forget to post pics

Me too. I tried polishing mine and gave up after a few hours. I have a Dotco 90 degree angle grinder and went though about 20 different pads. It's tough. O ya, I hardly made any progress.
