Well, I never polished anything until today, and figured i wanted to try it out.
It took about 4 hours to do this: heres the original 
and then the polished.. 
I used MasterFormula metal polish, that i got at a harley show "Street Vibrations" that was here last week... and as you can see im not done yet, just ran out of sand paper :\ |

yea i have a tendency to start with steel wool on alot of the slip ons i clean, then i polish it down with micro-fibre and w/e cheap polish i can get a hold of. but that does look very nice.
