What do you use to polish? I wet sanded with 1000 grit then used Mothers Billet polish. But I've heard the newer headers don't polish as nice.

Started with 320, then 400, 600, 1200. I never wet polished or used any sort of compound. In my experience, if 1200 doesn't have it shining like a mirror, it's not going to shine.

Thats fine if thats your style...but the results speak for themselves. Throw some polish on there.
