good methods but fine steel wool will get it done faster then finish up with the polish because the polish is a "shiner" not a cleaner.... so steel wool, polish and use a liquidy wax to seal it from exhaust soot n dirt.


buy it here:http://www.autodetailsupplyoutlet.co...roductid=16418

works on chrome wheels, glass, windshield exhaust chrome tips....

 

I'd be careful of that.

Doulble 00 sounds good butt could be too agressive.

Triple lot and quad lot are finer.

Edit: Go to home depot.

 

yup true^^
best to go with a more mild wool so the damage ratio isnt as high.... lol.

 

anyone try this


I used it on the stock exhaust. crazy good.

 

^^no. but is that liquid?

i got a multi-piece wheel that i may need a decent liquid polish just like the one you posted to use, for in-between the studs cleaning.

where can you get that? easily accessable in stores, or no?

 

Great job on the tips!

I used 000 steel wool and nevr-dull on my stock tips and it took about 15 minutes a side. Nevr-dull is awesome stuff with a little bit of work and leaves behind wax that hardens to keep the polish. As long as you hit the tips with nevr-dull every so often they will stay clean and shiny. A friend and I polished his entire CR250 frame from with only steel wool and never dull back when Honda first went to aluminum frames.

 

Brasso and ultra fine steel wool. Done is five minutes then wash your car use a good car wash on the tips. Done.

 

Yeah I think this product is en every discount auto parts store. They are pushing it big time. Its like $15 or so but its a really good product.

I will use it on my exhaust this weekend, I will be sure to post some before and after shots.

 

 

Nice.

 

i really need to polish my rb exhaust ***** dirtier than the bro hoes in so cal

 

I had to start with a brass brush before I could even polish.. took a tad longer then I thought lol

 

Those are almost too shiny

 

I'll stand by my "English Custom Hot Enviroment Polish".

Of course we all know the best way is to not let them get dirty in the first place. I probably wipe mine down at least twice a week and sometimes more, with just a clean fiber towel. This takes no more than one minute.
Then I use the above polish about every two months. That takes really no lomger than about ten minutes.

 

not bad.. still have great output!

 

Cleaning them with fuel injector cleaner works too, Its fast and theres no buffing involved.
The carbon just wipes off without abrasive polishing.

 

Thanks for the tip!

 

Here's a tip for a dirt cheap metal polish, it's called "bar keeper's friend", you can find it @ local grocery stores cleaning aisle. Also, try #0000 steel wool in conjunction with it, you'd be amazed at what 30 minutes of scrubbing could do.

 

since my original clean up, which I needed to use a brass brush (needed!), I have used steal wool #0000 with the white diamond polish. This product still works great! I also like the product that the OP used, it was the first product I ever tried to polish with.

 

dang why did everyone else have such an easier time of it than me

steel wool etc did nothing to the tips as i started with them

 

pics dont show time lol....

Did you use the steel wool with the polisher/cleaner?

 

nah i used the mothers powerball/drill

 

I would use some kind of cleaning chemical when starting. I like using a cut down simple green or some of the product offered by chemical guys like p21s

 

eh....... try bar keeper's friend, it's a cheap alternative that works really well. You'd be surprised to hear how many detailers use it. it's like 3 or 4 bucks for a 13oz bottle if i remember right.
