well, basicaly i don't really know anything about it, and i'd like to try some out.

bascially i want to do all the alloy in the engine bay on a rst, plenum ect,

i'd like to get all the pit marks, and lumpy bits out, i suppose to a mirror like finish, would be nice!

so what tools do i need?
and roughly how long does it take to do say a square foot?

many thanks
