newbie… Polishing intake manifold alternator and timing cover.

Hi all im new to this forum and need some help.

Iv been polishing things the old way, sanding by hand with sand paper starting from 80 up to 2000 then polishing by hand 4 times to give it that real shine but i cant do it anymore its to hard and time consuming. I remember i did my simmons wheels sanding the dents smoothing them out getting rid of all the gutter rash re polishing again and again it took me a week to complete.

Let me start of with this. I want to polish a inlet manifold thats going on my rx3. Its very very rough and i have polished one of these on my old car the old way but i had blisters and no finger prints left by the time i finished. I started it with 60grit because its so so rough and still i cant manage to get into the small spots. Iv worked atleast an hour on this and still looks really bad like a meteor collided.

Can people please give me advice on what i should use. I have read up some info on here about greasless but i don’t exactly know what that is. Is it like sand paper you can get it in different grits? I have no clue i was thinking about getting myself a dremel but there’s no decent air dremels at shops around me.

Please either post a link to a thread or help me out letting me know step by step what i should do. Thankyou
