Exhaust Tips

Post by stumpyrs4 » Sat Nov 14, 2009 6:34 pm

Ok, I can get the tailpipes looking not too bad, and most deposits off, but the 'staining'? from the edge/rim... What's best to get rid of that, to bring back up shiney??

hi stumpy67

try the polishes by brilliant http://www.thepolishingcompany.com/briliant.html however, depending on what sort of staining you are refering to a dremel may also be worth while trying.

Cheers.
A bit of elbow grease + wire wool + autosol seems to work best!
