Polishing an Edelbrock Manifold

yes I have done lots of aluminum polishing before and what you are wanting to do is labor intensive and somewhat expensive for supplies. To begin with these manifolds are rough cast and you have to sand it all smooth before you even begin to start polishing. The you need lots of crevice tools to do the nook and crannies. As for tools you will need a die grinder with several bits and stones, a dremel tool with more bits and stones, polishing buffs, high speed-long armature benchtop grinder, more buffs, 3 kinds of polishing rouge, a ton of patients and about a weeks worth of time and in the end you wont be happy with the results.Just cough up the extra $40 bucks or so and buy the polished manifold to begin with.


the Endura shine is a different process where fine pore aluminum/tin is sprayed on the manifold then given a quick rub to shine . The processis similar to solder.Ever notice when you solder a connection how shiny it is ? Very similar material and process.
