What are you trying to polish? Misc. Engine parts or what?

I took a dremel to my MAF sensor and got all the crud off of it. It makes a difference. Just make sure you don't get too crazy with it and try to polish a heard or something.

A dremel will work. It will take you FOREVER and will not shine as well as other methods.
Eastwood (site sponsor) has a good selection of stuff and has great tutorials.
Or you can go to Sears and buy the $10 starter kit that attaches to a drill, then use the Dremel for the very hard to reach places.
(That kit for the drill will also work well with an air tool if you have access to one.)
