I just clean them off by hand (de-grease or whatever)

And then take 220 or 320 grit sandpaper to them, that's what takes most of the time, getting all the casting marks and flaws out. The actual shining process once sanded only takes about an hour.

Hmmmm... might have to get with you on a couple of things (namely MY brake calipers). I'm in about the same neck of the woods you are. I can spit on downtown Rockford from my office.
