OCD tailpipes - advice needed

Post by Jembo » Sun Jul 01, 2018 6:33 pm

How more shiney have people got?

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

They look good I don’t have an M but I am mad about cleaning my car, I would be careful about going too far with the Dremel as you don’t want to go through the chrome into the metal below, wouldn’t want you to wish you had stopped.

Not my Z4 but when I bought my Impreza the exhaust needed a good clean & I used autosol & some elbow grease & came out better than I expected

Keep at it mate. They’ll come out sweet. Though looks like your are a little scarred on the inside. Btw. Mine are originals

This thread has inspired me - was previously quite pleased with my efforts, but it seems I have a long way to go.
