No better way to spend a Sunday afternoon, on your knees polishing your pipes

Other than driving the car around Wales or the Ring, and shooting up the pipes again

love these threads, I often think I've got some sort of "issue" and then I come on here and realise I'm not the only one!

Fortunately Bing’s not on here much anymore, I caught OCD off of him, it reoccurs every so often but Dragon Lady medicine keeps it mostly under control

Mine are ok right now, need a proper fine wire brush touch up, but autosol every time the car is washed leaves them like this

I don’t know why they look a weird shape in the first pic, must just be the light as they’re perfectly round

I had a quick go at cleaning my exhausts yesterday. They are clean ish on the outside but I doubt they have ever been cleaned on the inside. I’ve been using 0000 grade wire wool and autosol. Results not too impressive at the moment, Is it just a case of sticking with it?

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 ... 2918458005companycardriver wrote: ↑Wed Jul 11, 2018 6:10 pm I had a quick go at cleaning my exhausts yesterday.
