I have to bow my head in shame. I have always polished Boxster exhaust by hand, but this one was very weathered. So... I first used a 2" 320 grit Scotch Brite Polishing Ball on a power drill along with Blue Magic Metal Polish Cream. I had gotten the tube of Blue Magic in a gift bag when I entered the Boxster in a PCA Concours d'Elegance event. It was good stuff for taking the top layer of grit. I then used brake cleaner, Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish and applied this by hand using 0000 super fine steel wool . This cleaned it up more and added some shine. Lastly, I put several coat of Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish on by hand rubbing it in well then buffing it with a soft cloth. I would guess I put 10 to 12 hours into the polishing of it.
