ShockerGT Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I was reinstalling my old Cusco sway bar and decided to polish my exhaust up. No matter how much I cleaned it by hand, it still didn't have the shine from when I first bought them. I'm impressed with the results. Materials used: Damp cloth for cleaning surface dust Acetone to clean soot Black Magic metal polish Porter Cable 7424 w/ the pad that it came with Here they are right when I took them off. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3544/3358549008_2c7e91ac8f_o.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3650/3357766415_62f0dd8fc1_o.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3664/3358583454_1cf6e34f39_o.jpg The first one polished up: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3610/3358549192_982b65eca9_o.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3579/3358549298_194f662a54_o.jpg Polished muffler installed, I wish I had an attachment to get into the tip (You can see my Cusco sway too): http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3602/3357732919_9000aff935_o.jpg Both done and installed: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3638/3357732987_16805dc7f8_o.jpg They will more than likely dirty after going to work tomorrow, but they still look damn good polished up!

SnoDork Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 very nice!! I'll usually just jack up the rear end of my wagon, clean my SP2s off with some simple green then follow up with some stainless steel cleaner/polish. I've been meaning to swap out to some fresh gaskets...may as well pull and do the same as you! Great Job!! ~Sucka-Duck~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to clean them with a damp cloth and then put some metal polish on them by hand and while the results were good, it just doesn't compare as to using a PC. It's like a mirror now and it only took 10-15 min per muffler and I was generally taking my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theflystyle Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 old thread but it may be worth trying a clear protectant on them to repel dirt and water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoplightAssassin Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 you can also use CLR and fine steel wool to get rid of any rust spots such as the rust on the welds b/t the tip and can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
