right then people, had a poke around with some autosol today, spent 15mins on a small area and it barely did a thing... i will have to go get some sand paper tomorrow.
Probably a silly question, is 'wet and dry' a type of sand paper or the technique used with normal sand paper?

NO not sandpaper. Wet n dry paper. Wet n dry paper is used for bodywork.
If you are to do your downpipes, use 240, 400, 800, 1200 grit....in that order. Then autosol on FINE wire wool, then autosol again on a clean soft cloth.
