I got a Dremel tool for Christmas and I wanted to do some polishing. Especially on the throttle body. Can anyone post a link for me or give me instructions. Thanks in advance.

If you notice on that dude's writeup,
he's using big buffers and such. The
Dremel is going to eat you alive on
itty bitty sanding drums, buffing
wheels, etc. They make more off the
consumables than the tools, and the
little drums just don't last at all.
Big wheels last better, big motors
let you remove material faster.

I used Dremel wheels to polish my CME
tips, and went through maybe two dozen
of their sanding drums. Aluminum just
rips the grit right off 'em. Ended up
finishing by hand anyway, since Dremel
doesn't sell anything finer than maybe
120 grit on its sanding drums, and you
really need something between that and
final polish - either finer grit drums,
or a whole lot of power, a whole lot of
buffing wheels and a whole lot of rouge.
