Attempting hand polish, no idea what to do

Hey all,



Seems it has been forever and a week since I posted here, but I have a challenging task at hand. My intercooler on my car is looking rather dull and dirty and barely stands out. So, since I am newly single and have a bunch of time on my hands, I am looking into polishing it up or at least making it slightly noticable.

I believe it is aluminum and when I originally got it, it had a litte shine to it. I suppose I'm not looking for a mirror reflection, but just something that stands out and looks clean. I will most likely be taking the mesh off when I remove the bumper to do this.



My problem: I have to leave the FMIC on the car. Uninstalling it with the hardpipe setup I have is an EXTREME pain in the *** and not worth the time. So any tips on what I should use, product wise? I don't have a PC or a drill for the powerball er whatever it is called, so I am left with only my 2 hands.



Any advise would be GREATLY appriciated

really any metal polish will get your IC looking great. I used Eagle One Nevr-Dull on my SRT-4's IC. Just keep in mind your going to need a good amount of elbow grease. I say just get a 6 pack of beer and have a fun afternoon polishing :bigups Oh, and btw, black is faster :cool:
 
And the harder you rub, the blacker your towel will get. It's the heat of friction that brings out the shine.....



(I thought yellow was the fastest color....) :grinno:

Check out the line of English metal polishes at TOL . I haven't tried mine yet, but I'm pretty confident that they're gonna be my new metal polishes.
 
Decided it will be too much of a hassle by hand. Ill wait till my friend comes down and use his powerball.
