Exhausts
« on: 04 December 2010, 20:02 »
I've neglected the tailpipes due to the weather and a mixture of lazyness and forgetting.

I used to always do them but now they have managed to get a bit dirty and badly need done.

Is there a steel wool or similar I can use on the outside of them to get them back to full shine glory ?

Hey PH, I've been around just not as much  :smiley: Been a bit busy lately, buying a new house etc. Moving in soon-ish (once its finished being built)

Will pick up some wiil and britemax soon.

Thanks others for the suggestions too.

yes autosol is good stuff so if you have some then keep it/use it, the britemax metal twins are fairly new and perform well so well worth a look tbh.
