1500 then 2000...if the 1500 is taking too long u might get away with 1000 then the 1500, 2000...then some polish.

yeah, that's true, you can probably go down to 600 on metal. I was just thinkin about paint...you dont wanna go that low.

try some flitz stainless steel polish, it works wonders.

is the intake SS? I thought it was aluminum..not sure though since i dont have one (shrug)

 

[shinzen]

I have found flitz to work on just about anything though, which is why I reccomended it.

 

[shinzen]

although I wouldn't reccomend using it on your car's finish.

 

[bazooka joe]

i think the cai is polished alum

were can you buy the "flitz"

couldnt u just use some rubbing compound...that s*** should come right off.. no sanding..

 

[tonkabui]

yeah, i was just going to suggest some simple rubbing compound. should work.

 

[shinzen]

If you want to go with flitz, I think I picked it up at Ace hardware here in town. But a rubbing compound should do the trick as well. I would try it on a small area first to make sure it doesn't scratch.
