I'm gonna tackle my exhaust tomorrow, it's a right state. Hoping the wire wool and autoglym metal polish do the trick.

How long does it normally take?  I can never get it back to a silver shine, always ends up "brassy" looking. (using autosol and wirewool)

Britemax twin pack is what i used, ended up using some wire wool i found in the garage. Still needs plenty of time and patience. good graft and you wil be fine.  :happy2:
