did you finish up at 1600 grit sandpaper? if not, keep going! and use some mothers mag and aluminum polish afterwards.

Get an arbor adatper for your power drill. It's like three bux and you can mount the spiral sewn buffing wheel onto your drill. That way you wont wear yourself out as much. Put a some duct tape or something on the end of the shank so you dont scratch anything. If you use a drill keep it moving, dont stop in one spot too long.

I got mine at home depot, it was right next to the buffing wheels. I cant even IMAGINE hand buffing anymore. It's so much easier with power. You still might need your shoulder power to get in the nooks and crannies tho. When I did it, I used tripoli, which may be too rough actually, then mothers. Theres a white compound that is finer than tripoli. Maybe start with that instead. Home depot should have it all together.

same exact intercooler as mine... i payed $175 for mine... i also modified mine so the inlet and outlet comes out straight and not at an angle like how they are in the pic.. it makes for a better and easier install when mounted up front...

Good buy!!

I have an NPR intercooler as well .

We made over 550 WHP on the full-size NPR i/c (twice the size of ours in height) on the truck.
