I've never done it but as I understand it you'll need some fine grade (1500-2000 grit)wet and dry to remove the casting marks and rough stuff to start with.You need to get it pretty smooth to get a really good polished finish. You don't want to cheat and use courser paper as you'll have scratches everywhere then.
For the polishing I'd use autosol as its pretty course while bring up a nice shine, it looks like the guy in the pictures is using some kind of air tool, you could use a dremel or something, they come with all sorts of polishing wheels and stuff to start with.
You might not need to use the emery paper if the alternator or whatever is pretty smooth to start with, but I was thinking about doing the plenum on my 7m and it would definately have to be sanded first.
You can get all this stuff at pretty much any automotive place, even supa cheap will probably have it.
