Do exactly what it says on the bottle, if its the link to Optiglanz, do not get it anywhere other than the downpipe, nowhere near past the link pipe cut....if you have an aftermarket can.

optiglanz is naff. Hardly did a thing to my pipes and I left it on for like 20 mins

joshwalker094 · 11-02-12, 10:36 PM

so best taking off whole exhaust system ? and clean it all except can and link pipe?
will i need new gaskets/screws or anything like that if i remove the whole sytem?

andrewsmith · 11-02-12, 10:39 PM

Yeah, new gaskets, studs and nuts (around £45)

And prepare for needing a hand if a stud snaps on the front

So what polish does everyone use for the plastics?
