cleaning exhaust
« on: August 17, 2013, 03:54:28 pm »
Right guys,
I really need some advice I'm very jealous of everyone's shiny exhaust....I've got mine clean now so it looks chrome rather than black soot but its not clean enough and no where near being shiny!


WHATS THE SECRET CLEANER???

Wash it first with some car shampoo.  Dry it, then either use autosol or something like silvo to polish all the black stuff out.

Autosol with some medium/fine wire wool and a lot of elbow grease, then some super fine 0000 grade wire wool with more Aurosol and then a soft microfibre/polishing cloth with even more Autosol for a super shiny (as new) finish.

I used to use silvo on my split rim dishes, they look like brand new!

I used engine degreaser to get most of the crap off then autosol + 0000 grade wirewool, then buff with a microfibre.
