Get a bench grinder, a polishing wheel for said grinder, some polishing compound ( not the paste like mothers, some hard compound in the form of a stick ) Some sand paper. Top this off with alot of time, patients and dirty dirty work.

I used 2000 grit wet/dry sand paper on the a/c and smoother stuff and started with 180 and moved to finer on the MAF and rougher stuff and moved down to 2000. Then different grades of scotch brite type pads and finished it with Mother's mag and aluminum polish. Mine turned really wel IMO. You do have to keep it all polished after doing all that though, to keep it looking good.
