Default Polish ceramic headers?

I searched and couldn't find anything. I just got some Hooker headers for my project and I'm not 100% satisfied w/ the ceramic finish. Is there any way to polish these? I spent a lot on them and wish they were a little nicer.

I wanted to clean them up good once before I put them on. No this isn't a DD. Weekends only so I will not be driving it a lot. Under 5k a year.

We use a polishing machine to polish anything we ceramic coat. It has about 800lbs of tiny silicone beads and the machine vibrates them at some crazy frequency to polish the item. Its really cool. Im not sure how you would mimic that process without one of these.
