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:

wire wool ftw. I finish off with megs metal polish. Gives more protection after autosol and a lighter shine.

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:

Wouldn't be fun if it was easy, but does it have to be this much fun?
