Polishing Fuel rail
pulling a fuel rail is cake.
get a fuel disconnect tool and take the line off the rail on the drivers side.
unplug all 8 injectors.
remove the 4 bolts that hold the rail into the intake manifold
use steady but gentle pressure evenly on each side of the rail(one hand on each side) to pull the rail clear of the injector bungs and out it comes..

Yep, that's about it. Before removing the rail, pull the fuel pump fuse and then start the car, it'll run for a few seconds and then die once all the fuel in the lines has burnt off. If you want to take the rail off right after doing that you'll have to relieve the pressure in the line - on the fuel rail unscrew the plastic cap on the front of the driver's side rail and push the nipple in. Have a rag ready to catch anything that comes out.
Or you can simply unhook the fuel line and let gas run all over everything.

it'll polish up pretty easy compared to doing like valve covers or something.
wet sand though, and go up to a 2000 grit if you want to do it right, then hit it with Mothers billet aluminum polish and it'll bling.
i started with 400 grit and went up to 2000, just like when i polisha aluminum.
