Magic Eraser works wonders. If that doesn’t do it, I’ve wet-sanded tips before (1,000 and 2,000 grit) and follow up with metal polish. I’ve done this on completely black and beat-up tips with unbelievable results.

Ammo NYC makes a high temp coating for metal, to include; wheels, brake calipers, and exhaust tips. It’s called Gelee Pro. I’ve never tried it, but I’ve tried other products Larry has developed and they’re top notch. Sometimes a bit pricey, but always fantastic results! Something like this might make it easier to clean your exhaust tips.

Was unpleasantly surprised to have pressurized refrigerant sprayed out of the vents/into the interior of the car when I was out driving earlier today haha. Planning to troubleshoot after work. In the interim, the following are pics of the finished floor. My wife and I finished them a few days ago. Hopefully it proves to be durable enough. Planning to finish the molding in the coming days.

Can't wait to see the finished product, with moldings and the car(s) ensconced.

Finished the molding this evening.





Tracked the freon that sprayed out of the vents earlier today to the pressure switch (at least, it seems that way based on which parts are saturated)

Very cool. Congrats on making such a nice space for the cars. (But it only serves to emphasize to ME that my baby deserves so much better than she's got!)

You guys are awesome and making me have a case of "Big Garage Eny"
To all my fellow comedian notice the word Garage. Nice job guys. I have so much stuff I am busting out of edges but we downsized into a townhome and sold my shop. Now to sell S#%T

Good weekend to all - Cheers, Mike

PS - VTT Once you have chosen which wheels you like better sell the other set to me

Any difference in sound with carbon vs plastic intake box?
