    Alot of work usually takes me and a worker all day to get them looking like a mirrior. High speed buffer, a few wool pads not foam, and we use waxing frenzys Shark Tower great polish. Mark

    I had clear anodized hardware on my last boat. If I am not mistaken it is not going to be mirror like shiny once you do that. Again, I could be wrong, but the hardware on my boat was completely polished out and then clear anodized and it dulled it back up a bit.
