    Cleaning titanium exhaust

    Hey guy thanks as always for all the replies. I contacted mothers and was told that their aluminum and magnesium cleaner would most likely Polish to a shine which I do not want. Does anyone know of a product that will simply clean but leave the original matte finish for magnesium? The only...

    Cleaning titanium exhaust

    So after doing some more research I found online for the same manufacter (although not for my specific model) I am 90% certain that the end caps are forged magnesium. Is there a specific cleaner for this metal?

    Cleaning titanium exhaust

    The pics are a bit deceiving. The marks are all over the tips not just on the sides and they are not pitted despite how it looks in the photo. They are completely smooth just like they were when new.

    Cleaning titanium exhaust

    The marks are completely smooth not pitted. They started to appear almost immediately after the exhaust was installed. I do a 15 minute cleanup after every ride but nothing has stopped them, although they don't seem to be getting any worse. The exhaust is out of production and parts are hard to...

    Cleaning titanium exhaust

    They may very well be. I've asked for information from the manufacturer and gotten no reply. The exhaust is listed as full titanium.

    Cleaning titanium exhaust

    Hey guys, does anyone have advice for cleaning titanium exhaust? I've tried silicon, degreaser and a few other cleaners which worked on the main body of the exhaust but not the tips which seemed to have marks from heat (possibly oxidation). From searching I seems aluminum polish may work but...

    First time detail with DA

    Well I really don't have anything to compare to as this was my firs time using a DA. I guess my only issue seemed to be roasting two pads (pink and orange). It was hard to keep spinning with any pressure and the machine was really hot, despite cleanings after every few section passes. Maybe I...

    First time detail with DA

    Thanks to this forum and all the helpful advice, I decided to correct the paint on my mercedes c300 with ceramiclear white paint. The paint was not bad, but was filled with swirls and had some particularly bad scratches (enough to lightly catch a fingernail) and some dark marks that I'm not...

    First time detailing Mercedes

    Tato, wow great write up! Really helpful an appreciate the time you took. 2 Questions: If both seeds w SF4000/white pad do not remove the faults, go to SF4000 with orange and repeat or go right into SIP1500 with white pad speed 5? Also is there any issues using different products on the...

    First time detailing Mercedes

    So after Clay, should I start with Menzerna super finish first or go right into the super intensive polish but with a pad with less cut (white)?

    First time detailing Mercedes

    Hey guys, thanks for the advice. I confirmed that my car has the ceramiclear so I'm going to try a test area with the least aggressive first, see how it looks. The last time I detailed, before winter I used mothers three step by hand, car looked good but did no correction to the problem areas...
