What type of "clean up" are you looking for? If you want a light polish, here are a few steps. It'd probably take 4hrs or so.
-Sisal wheel (sharp cut wheel) and a 240/300 greasless compound
-Sisal Wheel and a sharp cut compound.
-Spiral sewn wheel (med cut wheel) with tripoli compound (med cut compound)
-Loose wheel (not sewn, finishing cut) with soft cut compound.
There is also a recommended RMP that you spin the wheels at. My personal preference is to spin them a bit faster and use a little less pressure if you are using your buffs in a 6" grinder. You have to make sure not to let the wheel catch on anything though.
Also, a wire wheel will put some scratches in the surface that are a pain to take out in later finishing steps of the polish.
Beware, it is not a fun process!
Here is a pic of an intercooler I just polished using a little more in depth process.
