Hope this is the right place, I do a lot of work for a local shop here in tampa and I was called in to polish a set of exhaust pipes that came off a twin-turbo 350Z. He sold the exhaust to another member who owns a show car and wanted them polished before picking them up. I had no idea I would be able to get a finish like this out of them though!



Products Used:

-#0000 Steel wool by Hand

-Using Adams Metal Polish #1

-Lots of Cobra Jr. Deluxe MicroFiber Towels

-Meguairs G110 DA Machine with

-Lake Country White 5" Flat Pad

-Using Adams Metal Polish #2 at Speeds 4-5

-Sealed with two coats of Optimum Opti-Seal

Nice.



If you want to save a bunch of time in the future, at least for cleaning the "browning" discoloration, then try using Lime Away or similar toilet bowl cleaning type of product. Put some in a bowl, brush it on, and almost instantly you will see the discoloration go away. Rinse it off, and then you're ready for polishing.



Just don't get it on any painted surfaces!

I did it rather cheap, it was just a quick side job for a shop I do a lot of work for. I honestly did not expect them to come out this well, I was kind of just experimenting. :D
