it is yeah, did you use auto sol for that?

[piebobs71]

i use autosol and some really fine wire wool grade 0000

[MiniGibbo]

Yer the m3 exhaust is fully stainless..

Wirewool is a good shout if you have thick black bits like tar on the system it speeds up the process (used with autosol as a cutting agent) don't worry when it goes dull because when you then polish it with auto all and a cotton rag it comes up beut!!!

I've done a few systems now as it's so easy but makes them look brand new!

ive just bought some autosol 5 quid it was for a tube.
What do i do? just thinly apply it do the tip with a cloth and leave it to dry?
Or buff it? or what lol?

[MiniGibbo]

Put a inch long bit onto the metal then scrub up the whole side of the exhaust until it goes a dull grey with wire wool, then with a cloth add a little more and buff up. Then with a completely dry cloth wipe it all off and see it shine!!

It'll go realy dull until you buff it up with a dry cloth but don't worry as it'll turn out beut.

Shouldnt take you long and will come up like new using the wire wool.
