polishing exhaust tips

[SON1C]

haven't really messed with this aspect of detailing because on my previous vehicle I ended up running dumps, but now I have 2 3.5" SS expensive tips, so all input on products, usage, and tips would be greatly appreciated

Flitz and 0000 brass wool ..

Blackfire Fine Cut Aluminum Polish is what I use now. As Scott mentioned some #0000 wool with the polish as a lubricant helps remove some nasty stains.

Never Dull Wadding Polish is good as well.

Never Dull Wadding Polish is good as well.

Used Never Dull on my tips 14 months ago and they still look good. Seems like there is some sort of protection in the mix.

Flitz does also ... rops:

CG metal polish has worked well for me

Optimum metal polish on a 4" White Flat Lake Country pad...
Does wonders! And the 4" Flat doesn't absorb too much product,


I also like Flitz stuff, but I can't get it here in Canada without overpaying for shipping, so I won't be buying the stuff anymore.

I have the uncoated aluminum polish, very good stuff!
But I only use it with polishing pads, not with towels..

P21S Polishing Soap is the best I've used

I just purchased a can of this and I didn't really like the outcome on chrome plastic trim but thanks for the idea on the tail pipes.

Yeah, I didn't like it on plastic chrome either.

[steve swafford]

I've had great results with Autosol on my stainless steel mufflers.

 

[A.P.A.D.]

Duragloss Metal Polish (MP) #881

and

Duragloss Aluminum Polish (AP) #870

and while you are in the Duragloss section, buy all their other products too. everything else will go to the back of your detailing cabinet!

Love this stuff. My 2stroke exhaust pipe gets constantly assaulted with burnt on mud. I use either the p21s or mothers mag wheel and aluminum polish with a terry cloth. 0000 fine steel wool for the stubborn stuff.

I use Mothers Billet Polish on bare aluminum. On chrome I started using Optimum metal polish. I'm not sure how much I like it just yet since I've only used it twice. I always used Mothers billet for everything and never had an issue and the results were great.

Does the type of steel wool make a difference? I've never tried brass
