    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.

    I did as the instructions say: rub lightly until you see black residue and then wipe off.

    Took me like 2 hours to do the rails and the exhaust, although I didn't took off either.
