Exhaust polishing?

**eld4au6** · 12-03-2006 07:21 PM

I just bought a used genome exhaust and its looking pretty dirty

. Can you clean the actual pipe, it looks kinda rusty?
Whats a good product to use to get it cleaned up? I was thinking maybe the mothers powerball?

when I got a used exhaust like that I just sanded down the piping and sprayed it with some high temp flat black spray paint to keep it from rusting further

that can is a higher grade stainless you should be able to buff it out. The pipe you will probably have to paint, or maybe steel wool, or leave alone.

-1 on painting.

Never Dull FTW! It works great and it cost about $5.

I've used Mother's and it works great, but my favorite by far is the polish I picked up at the Hot Rod show. I don't remember the name of it, but it comes in a white and green bottle and I use it to polish my exhaust and the lips on my Volks

That should work ok. I just bought a used Invidia that had a ton of primer overspray on it.

I took some sand paper too it and am now applying coats of Blue Magic to try and bring the shine back. Been workin on it for about and hour.

I wish I'd taken a before pic...it was really bad. Looked like it had been spray painted gray.

I would suggest the powerball and some mothers billet alum. polish for the can and tip. You can try some light steel wool on the pipe, but unless you have a lot of spare time, its probably not worth the effort. I would also suggest putting some poorboys wheel sealant on the can/tip after you're done polishing to help cleaning it off in the future much easier. I do it to mine and the carbon buildup wipes off 1000x easier now.
