i use my orbital sander to take it down smooth.then i use finer sand paper,then off to the buffing wheel.they are pretty porus,but will still shine pretty good.
this is the one on my car.don't pick on me,atleast it's still an inline 6er

I used the drill with the sandpaper flapper attachments to get the rough stuff done, then 100 grit, 200 grit, 400 grit, 600 grit, 800 grit, 1200, steel wool, then steel wool with mothers polish. It came out about like Superrams. Sorry, no pictures. When I did it 7 years ago, I had no digital camera (DSM days)
