Re: Busy afternoon
Dizzyblonde will be sooo proud! Kwak however, will claim you have made a good start and that more effort is needed!
I always claimed the crud on my downpipe was a protective cover! Couldn't be ar$ed polishing it really... Pete

Re: Busy afternoon
Nah, not happy with it yet, still a good bit of crud on it. I'm a bit of a perfectionist....

Re: Busy afternoon
for the next time just a tip, get some 800 grit paper realy go over the exhaust (takes a lot less time that a brillo pad) then some 1500 paper quick go over and then get some fine wire wool to polish it up shouldn't take long quick polish with autosol just a quick going over
will take you about 20min to do the front down pipe and about 15 to do the middle section or do what i do now and use a polishing wheel lol |
