Hey guys, I got a bit dirty earlier in the quest of getting my H&S boxes and tips looking great again. I bought a stainless steel polishing kit, and thought I'd try and get the tarnishing out of the tips which annoys the h ell out of me. Well the bars of polish that they supply were absolute tripe, so I used the Mequiars Metal Polysh and the buffing wheels that came with the kit. Got some good results but they are still tarnished where I couldn't get in with the wheel. Any tips?

Half done abrasive stage



All done






Just polishing with no abrasive

What were your keywords? Mine were "polish exhaust" and, among many exhaust threads, I found those 2 (within the first page of results, though).

Your attachments are now working and you have H&S too! They are gorgeous when they're properly polished, aren't they? I get comments about sound and looks all the time.

Nice exhaust! I use Mother's Metal Polish and a microfiber towel as needed...

For a moment there, I thought I was going to be the first to say...good job!

They look really good, how old are they, after that time spent, they look pretty new.

Pays to buy quality, doesn't it?

BORLA makes their own line of exhaust polish. I wonder if anyone here has tried it & if so, what did they think of it... ?

 

[SeeSure]

I use Autosol and it seems to give quick good results without too much effort - and I'm going to have to go back to H&S so that they can stamp my exhaust...I like that touch must be something they've brought in in recent times...!!!

When did you get yours installed? Mine was October '09
