For the Olds W-cars, we have aluminum intake manifolds. I've had good luck with vapor blasting the aluminum. It comes out somewhat bright at first but over time the brightness wears away and it looks more like a stock aluminum finish.

Vapor blasting is the best I've seen, I agree. But he doesn't want to remove the manifold from the car so...
