I used Busch aluminum super shine polish for mine.
Wow that might be a new record for shiniest tunnel! How long did that take you!? Did you just do it over and over??
It didn't take too long. I probably spent at most 1.5 hours. I just went over it a couple times to get it to where I was satisfied. Just did it by hand.

Below is a link to an excellent thread on the subject. It really depends on how deep a shine you are looking for when choosing a method. I'm cheap, so I went the route of wet sanding, starting out with 600 grit and working my way all the way up to 2000 grit (600,800,1000,1500,2000) then used rags and mothers billet aluminum polish. This resulted in a mirror finish, but is definitely time consuming. My tunnel had 3 years of use before I did it, so I had to remove a lot of oxidation and scratches. I'm going to do the same thing with my new pro when it finally gets delivered, but with the new tunnel I'm hoping that I can start at 1000 grit and save some time. Never polished a brand new tunnel but I'm thinking it should be a lot easier.
I tried the mothers polishing cone and it shined it up, but I couldn't get the pressure on it that you need to really get that mirror finish. Money no object I'd definitely get a good polishing wheel and compound and do it that way. Much easier with quality results.
