Some good metal polish & I'd recommend getting a selection of polishing attachments for your drill.
Otherwise you'll be doing by hand forever

And get some goggles too.

I actually thought about doing this a year ago, and researched big time. There was a DIY on how to polish a manifold in MX5 forum.

You can get polishing kit from Bunnings, which will save heaps of time. You definitely need to take the manifold off to do this work on it.

The thing put me off was all the writing on the manifold and all that corners. Will extend the project time big time.
