I gave up after about 3 hours and only had a fraction of the plenum smooth enough for polishing.
Moral of the story- Do not attempt to polish the plenum unless you have plenty of experience and the PROPER tools for the job, it can be hell to polish the plenum.
I had to give to someone to polish professionally for about 200.00
and it took him about 3hrs to get it looking like chrome

) you could take a 80-100 grit on a palm sander and barely make a dent.My fraction that was completed would be about the size of a hand with 100grit to start off with
Take a good look at your plenum and feel it's rough texture, now imagine the work needed to get the metal smooth enough to create reflection just by sanding before adding any polishing compound/paste to bring out the miror like shine.
Not trying to discourage anyone but warning people about how hard it will be without the professional tools needed
