Cleaning The Tips

Pockets

Pockets

So my exhaust tips got destroyed during the winter and were hurting pretty bad So I decided to take them off and clean em up for the summer. Of course they are not 100% perfect and I wasn't expecting them to be. The process:

-Poorboy's APC full strength (wet tips than sprayed on and let sit no rubbing)
-Rinse off APC
-APC full strength with agitation from hands
-Clay and APC (didn't get off the baked on stuff I wanted to get off)
-Steel wool (#0000) and APC worked wonders on the baked on stuff cleaned it up without scratching.
-PP via rotary and red VC pad
-Three coats of Wheel Sealant

Thanks for looking
 
Looks like a mirror finish and you had to remove hands from Pockets to do it. I propose a new nickname is now in order, Tips! :rofl
 
Nice job on those tips, Tips.


on another note, keep us posted on the durability of the WS on them. Being that my car runs really rich, that would be the ultimate durability test.

I agree. You did an extremely good job on these and I'm looking forward to hearing how durable the wheel sealant is.
