Scrubbing up your Zorst.

[Stu Faulkner]

Otherwise known as polishing your tail pipe.

I have dropped on a few of those daft youtube videos that say that you can clean your pipes with bleach.

I have since tried it and it doesn't work. OK its now clean enough to eat your dinner off but not as shiny as we want.

Since bleach is an alkali what about acid, No i'm not going there.

There is something else though.

Its not a very good picture (or two) but you can clearly see its silver rather than gold.

I know it hasn't cleaned the black bits and if anything they no stand out more because they contrast against the silver. This process believe it or no took 60 seconds with a light tooth brush action.'What is it ' I hear you cry, well incredibly...

Now its up to you if you try it as because it kills lime scale it must contain acid so..

Wear gloves, don't get it on the bodywork, rinse thoroughly and don't use the wifes tooth brush. (although she may get lovely white teeth but breath like a toilet)

I'm not saying it beats autosol and a hard days scrubbing but 60 seconds to from gold to silver..and it happens before your eyes..

Disclaimer - dont blame me if your body work melts or your wife hates you for using the bog cleaner and her toothbrush...you have been warned.

Don't take you long before you were back to cleaning

One of my contractors mentioned some stuff he used on his motorbike exhaust and said it was amazing . I will find out what it is. It means you toilets stay clean in the house and the wife might not be dead from cleaning her teeth , which means the washing and cleaning can continue

Harpic contains hydrochloric acid, and hydrochloric acid attacks stainless steel, the end result could be much worse than using the wife's toothbrush

What about Coca Cola, it does wonders for coins and suchlike?

This thread does come with a warning. 

i will finish it off with a good metal polish but I'm interested in the Coca Cola idea

Autossol does the job for a bit, then you just can't get rid of the ****!!!

Was contemplating getting my exhaust camcoated next winter time. Budgets were screwed this year, strangely

Try a red Scotch-Brite pad it will shift most things stuck to stainless steel.

Most definitely if it's Westfield Part,  mine cracked early last year in exactly the same place,  a good welder can do the properly for you.

Had mine done satin black,was just over £200 that was for a four branch BEC manifold and a standard size 5 inch Westfield silencer

just finished making up my exhaust for my turbo conversion so that will be going for the same treatment shortly
