OCD tailpipes - advice needed

Post by companycardriver » Wed Jul 11, 2018 6:39 pm

Apparently you can cheat using a mop drill bit & something similar to this 40/60mm Cotton Buffing Polishing Wheel Mop Pad 1/4'' Shank For Drill Cylindrical https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre ... 2918458005

Am just waiting for mine to arrive

Thanks, I’ll give that a go.

Not really appropriate for the M specific as I've only got 2. :roll:

But I'm pleased with how mine came up with rags and Autosol. I probably just need to apply it a bit further up (and on the inside)!

Appreciate a few pics of others so can either call it a day or spend 3 more hours next weekend with the dremel & some new polishing bits
Looks like your toenails need a polish too, Jem! :wink:

I agree, truly impressive
If you ever think I'm off my rocker.. Just put me back in it and walk away... It's the kindest thing
My wife says I never listen - or something like that.
