believe it or not that's what I used and it still came out dull

 

looks like you need some more sanding first till it becomes really fine...then use the eagle one

 

What grade would I use to sand? Thank you

 

You should probably take you valve cover off before you sand (polish) it.

 

looks like you only tried for 5 minutes. I proper job may take hours

take your valve cover off, start sanding with 800, sand more, then sand with 1000, sand some more, then sand with 1200, then wet sand with like 1500 and polish your *** off, it only takes time and effort my friend
