a while ago i asked about cleaning up my indy exhaust,

exhaust polish

well anyway i got some stuff as a result of ebay for £11, used it today and must say it is awsome! i used it when it arrived but only by hand, but today i got the old polisher out and have done my exhaust, it has come up as new, even though it was blue yellow and had some brown, weird stuff that wire wool didnt even touch.



still trying to find an sd card, but this pic aint the best of what it was before, but now in the 4 - 1 part is back to a mirror finnish.

great stuff, use it liberaly, they state on the add that one bottle will do several but ive used about half on mine, but it is bigger than a motorbike and it was in a real state. anyway, there are very few products i have been really impressed with but this is one, ill get some pics up soon. oh and its ntdwm, just thought id recomend a good product.

any photos of your handywork?

need to do mine too, but here's what i'm starting with. yes, its stainless steel

geeze! mine's stainless, and it had some brown areas like yours (just not all over)


ill get some pics up asap, but i reckon it would work to be honest. not by hand though, you'd need a polishing wheel jobbie.

as far as i know, that exhaust must have been in someones workshop for at least 7 years lol.
i don't know how i'd get in all the corners with a polisher though. i guess i would do the easy bits with a machine, and the insides of the corners by hand. i suppose the bits i can't get to by machine won't really be seen anyway

You could try a vinegar bath? Worked well for my drums.
Or autosol and cloth, then rub it around the pipes like a ring saw.

Just don't use wire wool at that can cause stainless to rust.

Our local market sells a gallon of vinegar for £2, is malt best or non brewed condiment. I've used all mine for pickling onions. P.S. Brick acid is good for cleaning exhausts and it's cheaper than the polishing kit but don't get it on your paint and don't leave it on too long.

I bought catering size plastic containers of vinegar quite cheap and did my drums. They came up very shiney.

The vinegar process gets though a lot of vinega. You could try cola as that contains phosporic acid (as used in wonder wheels type products) and does chrome up a treat.
