Anything metal can be polished. Some of the harder metals just require a little more elbow grease! 
Everything metal under the hood can be polished to a brilliant luster. 
Good luck.

Dremel makes a polishing kit with compound and wheels etc... It is pretty cheap, also. I just started trying different wheels and experimenting. So far I have polished my MAF housings. Came out real well. TB is next on the list.
You might give that a try.

After...(I did not detail the washers, they will not be seen) These are the sway bar brackets ect..

i guess this question will fit with this topic, would i be able to use like polishing compound (the stuff found down the ''car care'' isle at any store) with the polishing attachments on a dremel to polish metal and such, or do i need to get the polish that dremel sells, or is there something else i can get?
