Exhaust polishing, no more chrome!
i got a new exhaust the other day and when it came through the post the person that had packed it had got cellotape on the tail pipe. after 30mins of trying to pick it off i gave up and stupidly decided to use some Auto Glym Intensive Tar Remover on it to get it off.
this didnt work but it has marked the chrome tail pipe, its still shineyish but has got like a matted affect on it.
i have tried Autosol and no luck
so my question is, how do i get it back to the original mirrored finish?

Autosol is a great metal polish.

Go for the blackfire metal polish, the likes of the fine cut one should shift it, i stupidly didnt change my wheels over to winter ones in time and the salt attacked my polished rims, the blackfire polish got them back 100%
