there is a product that halfbreeds sell I did mine yesterday it is 3 cutting compounds and 3 polishing wheels
I was sanding mine for 5 hours yesterday and its not as smooth as I would like it a tip use a drill with a sander to get most of it off and cover everything over I had to wash the engine bay yesterday and killed 2 coil packs in the process like a d**k bad times

I refuse to go all out with water in engine bay since i killed coils in my old megane coupé lol, is there not a disk i can put on me grinder to take the scum off it?

Here is an excellent DIY here: http://public.fotki.com/BlueTTop/mods/polished_intake_manifold/
The ZOOP SEAL is awesome not to be used on charge pipe..... intake manifold yes..
I think all discs would be a bit harsh for the job one slip and its a big dint the the manifold. a sanding disc on a drill? i used a small dremmal type thing
i think i best invest in a drill sander, either that or im gonna have sore hands tomorrow night lol, ill whip the manifold and rocker cover off in the morning and give me all, prob wont end up as shiny as some of the guys on here and certainly the tt on that guide, but im sure ill get it better then it is, ill put a before and after on here once im done, can you get a buffer disk for a grinder?

i would have said getting a buffer for your drill would have been better to get into tighter spaces?
reckon somewhere like b and q might sell these type of attachments? or would somewhere else be better/cheaper?

Don't forget you may need a new manifold gasket, they tend to break up and it's always good to replace gaskets once removed, standard practice, don't remove the throttle body as you will need to replace that as they fall to bits.
Sent from my IPhone when I should be doing Work!!
So i can get the manifold off without removing the TB? would prefer to get around having it realigned thats all, as i dont have a vag com cable yet, and dont worry ill def replace gasket im sure my motor factors round corner will get me one or have one in, Dan
