[fUbAr]

My pipe's a bit grubby... any suggestions?

[fubu172]

Gotta be Autosol
So much better than Peek and Autoglym that halfords sell!

 

[fUbAr]

where can i get AutoSol?

 

[theduck]

bit of brasso or silvo maybe?

please note i havent tried this and if it goes wrongnits not my fault

 

[fubu172]

They sell it at Halford, was just saying it is far superior to the other crap they sell
Is 4.99 i think or therabouts

 

[fUbAr]

Autosol or Autoglym, nothing in them for use, at a guess they maybe the same product! But The AG can be purchsed more cost effectively in a 200ml bottle.

I have just picked up some Meguiars NXT metal polish from Halfords which is meant to be good, but not tried it yet, smells nice LOL!

 

[Clare]

Autosol or the NXT metal polish will do the job

 

[fUbAr]

i bought some autosol...

just gonna go and polish my pipe, i'll try and get before and after pictures for comparison!

 

[fUbAr]

[Rich]

[fUbAr]

ooooh thats very good, how much was it?

£4.99 from Halfrauds for a little tube

[theduck]

[MattyH16v]

[MattyH16v]

Got some autosol today from halfrauds, pretty impressed with results

 

[fUbAr]

good work! :approve:

 

[jonnyjogpants]

how long did it take

 

[Nebdingo]

Autoglym metal polish....

 

[MattyH16v]

how long did it take

Not long m8, notice it working straight away

 

[Matty]

Think its about a fiver. Or local motor store should sell.

Quite abrasive in action, actually rubs off black which is metal you have polished off. Used to use on rusty steel bike wheels all the time.

Not sure if its worth trying something less harsh on stainless steel but autosol definately would work.

 

[Middo]

i used to use autosol to remove the crap, and then spray it in wd40. wouldnt actually need cleaning much the following week, and something like brasso would suitably clean it

good idea. However wont things stick to it when covered in WD?

 

[Rich]

It will do yes.


After Polishing with Autosol you can use Auoglym Extra Gloss to protect it like you do on paint.

 

[Rip3z]

Couldn't you just use normal car wax?

 

[Rich]

You could, but polymer sealants such as Autoglym Extra Gloss hold up to heat better than wax.

Silvo gets my vote. used it many a time, and its great VFM, as you buy the cotton wool in a tin version of it, and you use very little each time, so it lasts ages. Gets of stubborn tar etc, and leaves it nice and shiney. Just rub it in, leave to dry, then wash off with soapy water, and dry.

Polish up with the autoglym stuff ^^^if you want it to stay looking good i suppose.

 

[Jay]

Nice shiny pipes!! Do you just use an old rag to clean inside the pipes, to get all the black off?
