Title: Exhaust Tail Pipe
Post by: Len on 19 February 2008, 09:07

My twin pipe SS exhaust is badly tarnished/carbonised etc.

Advice on cleaning it please. Any products available?

Yea I thought of trying that, but wasnt sure it was strong enough for the job.

Belgom Alu - contains wax so not only does it clean but it also protects

don't know how strong it is though so you might need to give it a blast with something industrial first... definitely shines and protects though!

Got it cleaned! My paintshop guy did it with a little very fine rubbing compound!
Bit of a wipe with WD40 which I hope will keep it clean for a while.
