Re: Exhaust pipe cleaning
I have a tin of solder flux in the garage. Time to experiment.

Re: Exhaust pipe cleaning
I tried the tin of flux that i had lying around for plumbing jobs, can't say i noticed much effect. I then bought some Harpic max power and that did a fantastic job. Barely any effort required.

At the moment on my AL7 I have used it on silencer heatshield (the silver looked naff when the silencer was black, IMHO it looks a lot better now) and also on the exhaust pipes that run under the engine, they stood out like a sore thumb and blend in much better now they are black, I have not done the first 300mm or so of exhaust yet - maybe this year.

Re: Exhaust pipe cleaning
Acid based fluxes have been banned as if you don't clean the pipe out well enough you can end up with acid in your tea. That and if you don't clean out well enough it causes pin holes in your plumbing.
