Hi

Does any one know what to use to polish the exhaust - the tip could do with a polish as it has bronzed with the heat.

Another recommendation for Autosol...

As you said it\'s bronzing I\'d guess the exhaust is stainless steel - not much you  can do about that IME. BMW motorbikes tend to have stainless downpipes and run fairly/very hot and I\'ve got the same problem there. Once it\'s bronze/brown you\'re pretty much stuffed with removing it.

There\'s a polish that the Harley polish crowd use called Blue-Away that is supposed to be pretty much unbeaten when it comes to remove the discolouration. Frost stocks it, I\'ve never tried it as I was always frightened off by the price.

Or if you want to, get some Ferecla from any body shop / paint supplier.... you want the G6 Grade, it comes in a yellow & white tube. this is also fab for removing scuffs & scrapes from paintwork too (as it is a cutting compound body shops use to bring the shine up on a fresh paint job!!)

ive got the harley stuff for doing my chromes its amazing no cut just cream but yes exspensive but puts a long lasting coat on the wheels!

I\'ve used autosol and it\'s great stuff.  It will get bronzing off an exhaust but it just takes time.  You\'ll have to spend 30 minutes or something on the exhaust tip and you should be able to get all of the bronzing off, not that I\'ve got a lot of spare time or anything :2Rolleyes

I just use some fine sand paper and washing up liquid to get the worst off, then i move to autosol, then the meguires fine paste stuff.

brown sauce works a treat for cleaning metal (use it on some steel wool) then follow it up with some metal polish
