Hope this is the right place, I do a lot of work for a local shop here in tampa and I was called in to polish a set of exhaust pipes that came off a twin-turbo 350Z. He sold the exhaust to another member who owns a show car and wanted them polished before picking them up. I had no idea I would be able to get a finish like this out of them though!

Products Used:
-#0000 Steel wool by Hand
-Using Adams Metal Polish #1
-Lots of Cobra Jr. Deluxe MicroFiber Towels
-Meguairs G110 DA Machine with
-Lake Country White 5" Flat Pad
-Using Adams Metal Polish #2 at Speeds 4-5
-Sealed with two coats of Optimum Opti-Seal

oh my god. They look amazing!

 

wow! flawless! good job!

 

Thanks!

 

Very nice!

How much time was invested?

 

Thanks, roughly 3 hours.

 

wow
need to do this with my hi power hks

 

holy **** thats clean. I use just some mothers mag polish on my WS2 muffler and it cleans up relatively well than i either put some quick detail or wax it to help keep the shine. Have you ever heard of Simichrome? I wirk in a music store and we use it to polish things and i'll tell ya, its GREAT stuff, its made in germany and its what the military uses to polish medals and what not.

 

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

But the exhausts look really good. Have you had any prior experience to using Optimum Opti-Seal on exhausts? Is it pretty decent at keeping dirt and grime from sticking to the pipes? I just don't know how it would deal with the high heat the pipes produce.

 

No not really, I just figured Id seal it with something. It is going on a show car, so the only heat it will get is from rolling around a parking lot. I dont know if it will last with the heat, just wanted to seal it with something.

 

Ok just making sure, I tried using Meguiers #20 Pain Sealant and I noticed it didn't last very long on, less than a week actually.

 

those turned out amazing bro

 

Great results with a little time invested

 

Looks great!
