I wanna polish a coulple of parts on my car the fuel rail throttle body and other engine parts before i put my new motor in. Is it better to do each by hand using sandpaper degreaser etc. Or would beadblasting or another method be better. let me know thanks

i just replied to the PM u sent me....
i'm doing all my polishing by hand.....its pretty easy to do.....
i used degreaser to clean the parts.....used a dremel with a sand paper bit on it....to get the heavy rust and stuff off...then i switched to a wire brush bit for the hard areas a big wire brush wont reach....and used my drill with a wire brush and went to town.....
if u don't have a dremel....walmart has a black and decker 1 for $25.....works great.....
and if u have a drill just buy a $2 wire wheel brush for u drill and ur good....
once i get my camera in....i'll take some pics of parts i''ve done so u can see

sand blasting wont help with the polishing....only thing sandblasting is good for is to clean the surface and strip it down to the metal.....
no problem....always willing to help when i can.....just wish others on here were that way.....
also....if u ever need to know how to do something....and want to save the money to have someone else do it for u....
