GIXXERUK Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 you can buy a cheap drill attachment kit which includes polishing pastes and mandrel etc, then use some autosol or nxt metal polish to add protection tbh I imagine any protection will be short lived as the exhaust is so exposed to the elements 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen the attachements for a power tool for polishing.. I thought autosol was abrasive to remove tarnish not to protect? do you have an examlple of some metal polish protection?

GIXXERUK Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) Hi James I was in the same boat as you last week as i bought the Ark Grip off octet, I used the polishing attachments to clean up the tail pipes and rear boxes (as they are visual from the rear ), the inside of the tailpipes were black with soot etc, they now look chrome ! but I needed to polish with drill, I could not of acheived the result by hand ( I tried) The rest I cleaned up using some bilberry wheel cleaner (diluted) as there was road tar on the pipes, I then polished with megs "all metal polish" , this offers " highest shine possible, anti-corrosive agents fight against eviromental attack and degradation" Hth Paul Edited September 17, 2014 by GIXXERUK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjf1985 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I use Autosol and then usually put some polish or wax on it when I'm giving my car a clean. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
