I've been polishing for about 2 years now, most of my stuff comes out to a mirror like finish, except for this thing and i can't figure out what the problem is. It's an aftermarket intake pipe for a mustang. I'm not 100% sure what it's even made out of but hitting it with a cotton wheel with fast cut tripoli finishes it to a haze at best. Then hitting it with white rouge does absolutely nothing for it. I even went back to basics and sanded an area down to 1000 grit to no prevail. It's got welds on it, so it's metal for sure, it's also magnetic, it's just not polishing up like steel and other stuff I've worked with. Please help me out if you can. Here are some pictures.
