Polished inlets - No longer as shiny?

[Russ.]

Hi guys,

My polished inlets are now looking nowhere near as shiny as they used to. The metals gone very flat and nowhere near as chrome like as it used to be. Parts are starting to look oxidised as well.

I dont have access to a machine polisher so ideally i could do with a recomendation for a product to bring them back to their former glory.

Thanks,

Russ

i used autosol on mine for a good 2 years and it worked fine you get it from halfords

I used autosl on mine to bring the shine back, then Megs metal polish to protect it.

Expect sore fingers though!! lol!

 

[Russ.]

Ive got some autosol, but pretty sure it says its not to be used on polished metals?

 

[DrR]

lol what?

 

[Russ.]

Your right, that makes no sense what so ever. Ill go and dig it out and give it ago lol

 

[matty J]

my engine bay with the use of autosol as mentioned

Just been and dug the autosol out. it ways not to be used on mirror finishes, so there was something in what i remembered lol.

I?ve just been out and given one of the cylinders a quick rub over with autosol and the difference is night and day tbh.

What would be the best tool to use to apply autosol other than by hand?

Autosol and meguirs....

^ Looks really good.

I want to get my engine mount polished but tbh its beyond my mechanical ability to remove it i expect

I'm with Daniel on Autosol then Megs Metal Polish as 2 easy to come by Products.

Bought a fresh tube of autosol today as i used all yesterday cleaning the inlets up, also got a tub of megs metal polish and must say theyre looking pretty good so far.

Next step will be remove the inlets and nitromorse around the Renault sport writing as the previous owner of the inlets has painted all that area.

Do you have a guide for removing the mount Daniel?
