You clean anything else besides the down pipe with Optiglanz?
Looks brilliant
I had to use a green scouring pad with the Optiglanz, Then some wet and dry, then metal polish. I did it over a few days, but it looks better now.

I'm looking for other areas of Stainless that nay need touching up.

Funny you should ask. Here is the rest. Yep the oil cooler guard does whatever it fancies.

Mine will be coming off in the next couple of weeks. They really are coted in crap. Only two years old look more like 20. Loads of cleaning for the old girl coming up.

Also I'm going to get rad gaurds off Evotech as they do black ones rather than the bling silver stuff.

And I get a discount as Ive bought a few bits off them previously. They are willing to give discount if you buy a few bits at a time. Chris will sort you out.

I've got the black evotech guards, well worth the money and look the part.

How hard Is it to take the pipes off?
I'm off college from Tuesday till 8th January so have time to take them off and clean

Mines still a work in progress, need to get it on the paddock stand to get more space.
Have cleaned the majority of my downpipe, just a few Stuborn rust spots that won't budge.
Needs more sand paper

Never intended to put you, or anyone to shame. I just have too much time on my hands and a sad little life

This is my daily runner. I travel 68 miles a day, for work, all year unless it is icy.

I sadly enjoy cleaning my bike and car. I know they are not super bikes and cars but you still need to be proud of what you have. I think you should always make the most of what you have. I can easily understand people not cleaning the down pipes though.
