Default Polishing SC

I recently got a non-polished Vortech SC. I want to polish it myself if it is something that can be done. Any information how it is done? what tools do I need?? is it hard??

Please let me know if there are any DIY's...

Because of it's complex shape, I'd imagine it would be quite time consuming, and maybe difficult.

One of my customers bought a used Vortech SC. He sent it to Vortech, they fully polished it and the cooler box, and rebuilt it, for around 500 or 600 bucks.

Yes, one is shiny and one is dull. Otherwise there is no difference.

It not expensive at all, for the amount of work it takes.

if it is just for the looks of it, i think it is expensive. i would rather save some more and get AEM EMS or something...

The polished Vortech was on back order, my tuner changed the order & got the satin. Then did a clean up for free. I don't have the before picture. Look close, you can see they didn't get everything.
