Well, with a set of cam covers currently at the powder coater to get done in red, I want to do something with the coil covers. Eventually I want to get a set of the Colex coil covers, but until then I would like to try and polish the factory ones. Especially since I have the INTECH plate on the passenger side.

I had tried to do them just by hand with a towel, but I want a more uniform finish on it. Is there something I can do with either an attachment on a drill or my Dremel? And if so, what polishes/products should I use? Or do I need a polishing attachment on mounted polisher for more pressure?

Any and all advice, parts need, polishes to use would be appreciated. Also, any pictures of what you have done with those parts would be appreciated.
