exhaust polishing

[Darren]

picked up the 225 on saturday (thanks to dan at sj cook, bristol (superfastdan))

spent a few hours cleaning it yesterday, and tried EVERYTHING on the exhaust autosol, autoglym metal polish, wire brush, steel wool.

is better than when i started but could be better.

any ideas? or just keep at it?

Wire brush !?!

Keep going at it with the wire wool and metal polish till you get a finish your happy with, then follow it up with metal polish on a cloth, and finally SRP.

lol, yeah, did wonders for the tar on the bumbers so thought it would do same for exhaust lol.

nah it wasnt too harsh a brush.

ok so just some elbow grease is what your saying? fair enough

Which bit of the exhaust is giving you grief?

 

[Darren]

just the end tips, that stick through the bumper. outer edge and first 1" or two inside.

 

[Rich]

Dull or proper Black?

Good soak first with AG Engine and Machine Cleaner and then lots of wire wooling.

 

[Darren]

black!

might be an idea to clean it whilst hot , go for a drive 1st , come back and try to clean it then as it's hot you may clean it easier , careful though you dont burn yourself ....
