Default Goodbye to dull and ugly tailpipes...

Spent the day polishing the S tips on the exhaust:



A lot of metal polish, steel wool, a dremel, and elbow grease.

Very nice! Mine are due for some serious work - looking very shabby lately! What kind of metal polish did you use?

I used Blue Magic, but just about any metal polish will work

Did you do that by hand or by machine. They look fantastic!

I put on orthodontic braces for a living.

And I coated the tailpipes with a product called Wichinox, which is used for the passivation of marine stainless steel, so it's durable. But I will report back in a month or so. And to get the final shine, I used a dremel tool with a felt wheel.
