Look familiar mate, thats what i use although i don't need to use wire wool cos i put some sealant on from time to time, makes it so much easier. Jetseal 109 FTW! :cool:
-
Looks good!
-
wire wool ftw. I finish off with megs metal polish. Gives more protection after autosol and a lighter shine.
-
It's really fine wire wool....looking to put on the sealer, which should help them.... :smiley:
-
WD40 is a good metal/chrome cleaner ;)
-
Good result. What I do after using Autosoul and wire wool is add a coat of Megs NXT metal polish.
-
Isn't NXT the same type of product as autosol? Ie for actual cleaning of the pipe so putting a coat on won't actually do much. :huh:
I wouldn't bother with the autosol tbh, just use the NXT.
-
I've found the megs NXT metal polish doesn't have very much cut/cleaning power but it does bring up a very nice shine, so both might work well together. One to clean and one to make pretty, as they say :wink:
-
You better get cleaning before the snow comes.....

i was just thinking about asking whats better to use then autosol. As i have a few black spots on the tips and no matter what i do it just wont budge. I leave autosol on for about 5-10mins and then use a tooth brush. But now i can see your using wire wool but what grade is it?
-
It's 00 grade wire wool mate.

But tbf your not really using autosol properly, it's an abrasive paste so using a toothbrush is a bit pointless, get yourself a microfibre or even a piece of rag, put a little on the rag and then get sime elbow grease into it! You may not need wire wool. :wink:

Will try it this way myself as i use a Toothbrush aswell..

You can pick up bags of 00 wire wool dead cheap in most places (B&Q, Screwfix, Toolstation, etc). I have used it in conjunction with Autosol and also with the Britemax Metal Twins. The inside of the tailpipes on mine is pretty baked on and I am thinking I may have to take varying degrees of flap wheel to it to clean them up before going at them again with the Britemax.

I used the fine wool and it works a treat....
