Give it a good rub with Autosol and wire wool. It will be like a mirror in no time

I cheated and got a polishing wheel from machine mart that fits into any cordless drill. Slap a bit of autosol on and it's done with little effort

having titanium headers they don't come up shiny even if I was to polish them, however some nice alloy exhaust guards do a smart job
