Steel wool?

[Kristopher1129]

It's funny, I was actually researching brass and bronze wool earlier today just out of my own curiosity. Aside from being softer than steel wool, the other advantage that was mentioned is that brass or bronze wool don't shed fibers like steel wool. The little fibers that come off the steel wool stay on the metal you're polishing and can rust.

Bronze wool is definitely the way to go as far as I'm concerned. I don't why a couple people are saying it leaves scratches. I use it consistently on chrome. Never had a problem.:dunno:

I didn't know about the fibers :dblthumb2:

I would not use use any type of steal or bronze wool pads. They will leave swirls. That will never polish out and over time only get worse.
If carbon is built up on the exhaust tip, i would use some carb cleaner and a soft scotch bite pad. try the least agressive first to get it clean. jonathan

I don't know why you think that. It's just not true. I use bronze wool on all chrome. Never had a problem.

Here's an old Caprice I did that had heavy grime and dirt on the chrome. I used Bronze wool on every piece of chrome. Do you see any swirls or scratches?? Cause I sure don't :bolt:

I think the bronze wool did a knock out job! Looked brand new. AND made me $200 for the chrome alone. Do not fear the wool.

When cleaning exhaust pipes, which grade of steel wool do you guys use? I seen super fine at Home Depot which is the least abrasive one they have. Do I need something more aggressive?

Quad 0 steel wool or Never Dull

Nevr-Dull Wadding Polish

I got 2 cans of never dull, but it doesn't like have any cutting ability. But it def makes the chrome shinny.
