So I read the how to post here in the forums and this is how it turned out. I also did the front header and cross over pipe. The headers are almost a year old and they had different color tones to them and the shine was gone.
They still look dark gray, but they look more even now and with a glossy finish to them.
I never actually polished metal using mother's compound and i was amazed of how easy it is.
