Exhaust Polish



  Skoda Fabia vRS


right, i need to clean my K-Tec exhaust, cos i wanna take some pics today an its dirty already

i was gonna use Autosol, but on the packet it says not for use on mirror finish surfaces, which my exhaust is

david at k-tec has told me it would be fine, but i dont wanna chance it, does anyone have any suggestions ?

what about Peek which they sell at Halfords, it also comes in a little metal bottle, would that be ok ?
 


The stuff I use for my Magnex 6x4 Oval is from Halfords.. not sure what it is called but it comes in a toothpaste type tube and is silver - it was £4.95 I think - it works a treat and leaves a nice shiny finish.

yea but a Magnex doesnt have a mirror finish mate, my K-Tec is like a mirror (when its clean)

its got a special finish on it, an i dont wanna use somethin too abrasive an damage it

(also i thnk it was Peek hes talkin about, Autosol is white)
 


i havent seen or heard of peek to be honest, but surely if the guy who made your exhaust says it would be ok then why not trust him?? i know where you are coming from, whats this special finish??

I wonder if Brasso is any good, as it is only mildly abrasive, and brings up my copper kettles a treat!

yea i know, suppose i could try some, but id rather not have a little patch thats damaged......and it wud be very fiddly to do it in a place where u cant see it

i guess ill just have to give somethin a go, he did say "the exhaust can be cleaned with any metal polish" i suppose, so if it does fcuk it up ill be on the phone to K-Tec hehe

where can i get that from ?.......also on the stuff in halfords it does say there all fine for chrome, just not for a mirror finish surface, its somethin to do with whether the finish is laquered or not i think
 


autoglym. Comes in a silver tube and the extra shiny polish finish on my mongoose exhaust turns to mirror like qualities. I swear by this stuff
 


I just use Mer polish.... or even white spirit which is very cheap, wont affect the finish as its not abbrasive, and it gets burnt on tar off a treat.Ive even used it on the bodywork before now to remove tar spots.
