One of my winter projects is to polish the intake on my 06 Coupe.
I have done some testing on an aluminium award with a very good result.
On the Gen3 intake the challange will be to remove the rough casting marks fast but without adding to much scratches. I was thinking about wet sanding the intake with 220 grit paper.
My plan is the following:
Stage 1 : Polishing with wet paper using a machine : 220 => 300 => 400 (3 days)
Stage 2 : Polishing with hand with wet paper : 600 => 1000 => 1500 => 2000 (1 day)
Stage 3 : Buffing with an aluminium polish ( I am still looking for a very fine compound) (6 hours)
Anybody has done a similar job ?
What would be the good compounds for polishing and buffing ?
