Polishing plenum and aluminum dist. cover??

I just picked up one of those aluminum distributor covers to replace the plastic one and I was wondering what the best way to polish it up would be. I saw one thing for sale on ebay and it had a mirror finish and looked quite good. Any ideas for trying to get that sort of a finish and get rid of the rough cast aluminum surface??

www.eastwoodco.com Look into polishing. It is not hard, just time consuming!
