Std mk3 16v exhaust cleaning
« on: 25 September 2011, 10:29 »
Just a quickie, my tail pipes are looking a bit worse for wear, ive tried Autosol metal polish and its brought some life back into it but around the tips it seems to be caked on. My question is, is it worth sanding the tips back then polish polish polish to get a nice shine? or shall i just go buy a new back box haha?

00 wire wool should do the job, then autosol or metal polish of choice
