What do you guys use to protect your exhaust tips (and any other uncoated metal) from rust/corrosion? I use never dull for cleaning, but I’m not sure what people have tried for protection. Anyone try the Wenol combo from Cma?



Thanks

I asked the same question last week and I was told due to the heat there would not be much to protect them. Most protectants cannot stand that much heat. Blackfire is supposed to protect against high heat, though. I guess you could try rubbing motor oil all over it but that might smell once the oil starts to heat up. :)

i would second the Klasse recommendation.



I used to use it on my brass belt buckle, but had to polish everyweek anyway, so i just stick to brasso for this. Leaves a more glossy but less durable finish IMHO.

I wouldn`t use steel wool on `em at first! You might scratch the livin` daylights of them. About the only place I ever use steel wool is the insides of some exhaust pipes.

After cleaning them up as best as possible, including a clay treatment... Try your metal polish with a soft microfiber you don`t mind staining and see where you`re at. You`ll probably have to make a few passes at each wheel to really bring the shine.
After you`re finished with the polishing don`t forget to seal `em up well.

Cleaning Chrome Wheels

Use a product that doesn?t contain harsh solvents, petroleum distillates or ammonia. P21s Metal Polishing Soap ? formula is a pH controlled, acid free, water based detergent, a pleasant-smelling, non-toxic soap, which allows you to clean and polish in one quick and easy step (not intended for use on painted, clear coated or anodized surfaces) it is a solid, clay-based (Kaolin) cleaner that applies with its own sponge. Simply wet the sponge with clean water and squeeze the sponge to create lather and then begin polishing, finally rinse with clean water.

This formula was specially designed to release deeply embedded contaminates like brake dust, fresh tar, road grime, oxidation and more. While cleaning the surface it is also polishing the wheel surface. Protect the surface with a polymer sealant (Zaino, Rejex, or etc)

Polishing chrome ? Deep Chrome Polish or Blue-Job Chrome Polish is formulated to remove the blue without scratching the chrome finish, it is completely safe for you and the environment. It?s non-toxic, non-irritating, and all natural; pH balanced, and does not generate noxious fumes. It contains no acids, petroleum distillates, harsh chemicals, or wax.

Note- some ?high polished? chrome and aluminium wheels (including those that come stock on Corvette C6) have a clear coat applied; if so don?t use an abrasive polish on them. Polishing Soap is non-toxic and biodegradable

If you`ve got a Harley dealer nearby the S100 polishing soap is the same product far as I can tell.
