Using Autosol on certain finish's?
 
Just wondering if anybody could give me any advice on using autosol on certain finish's? I'm going to be using it on my downpipes as I know that's not a problem. However I have this can with the rainbow heat type finish and I was wondering weather it could have any adverse effects??? Many thanks.

If your can has a "rainbow" finish there is a good chance it is titanium. Use Mr Sheen or similar if you are worried. I only use Autosol for getting off tar spots etc. on my Ti exhaust cans. WD40 works a treat for cleaning crud off titanium too. Need to wash can after tho' or crud will stick easy.

Autosol will "cut" through any laquered ( to protect from corrosion )alloy parts ie on the SV frame rails, and make them nearly mirror finished ( like your brake/clutch levers). Ok if you like shiny bits and don't mind regular cleaning and elbow grease.

Yeah, I'll agree with Stramasher. I wouldn't and didn't use autosol on a coloured titanium can. It's slightly abrasive so could probably take the colour off.

I only cleaned my old can with car shampoo and elbow grease. Never tried WD40 but I guess it's fine.
