Default I bet there's no-one here that ....

... took their exhaust out and scrubbed it end-to-end with scotch bright and degreaser.
Not bad looking for a 10-year old exhaust.

Does it count if you run your pipes on the wire brush? That really cleaned them up, too!

My exhaust is 3 inch 304 stainless and I often take emery paper and polish it. I put the car on the ramps and do a thorough polishing.

I have not removed the exhaust but did polish it with Mother's Billet last week.

Yep, I've done it.
Works good too, but is certainly insane.

Some of you guys have too much time on your hands.... polishing your exhaust pipes.... :rolleyes: If you have too much free time, I've got some work that you can do on my car (and in my back yard... and in my basement... and in the front yard....)

If you have enough time on your hands to polish exhaust pipes, then you need to get another Vette project car to work on.

Norval ... no fair, you don't count.

Polish the insides .... I'll have to buy some new tools for that.

The grill you see has not been used in 3 years ... keep it as backup (but can't get gas tank for old style filled).


Actually, I didn't polish it up ... cleaned it very well so it can be painted.
I think I might use the can of POR-20 that I have for this.
