charlton Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I need to clean up my Carbon Ti before I sell it on. What is the best process to get the dirt/grime off and then to polish it up without scratching it and leaving swirls everywhere? I don't have a rotary polisher so all will need to be done by hand.... if possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 see if you can get a long strip of fine emery cloth that should get it back up to some sort of shine then to finish try autosol or anything fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2JZ Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 +1 for autosol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_ufo Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 What would you sell it for as it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Coca Cola and a household scouring pad/sponge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 How about don't clean it and sell it to me I rate the kleers metal Polish highly, and Meguires is good to but that has no cut so will only be good for finishing. It try the cutting Polish first if it really bad get some 0000 wire wool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I'm with the cola and sponge pad on this. If its a 3" cat back I'd potentially be interested to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Another for autosol, but mine never gets that dirty in between polishes so not sure what it would do with that sort of heavy road grime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlton Posted October 14, 2017 Author Share Posted October 14, 2017 Thanks all for the replies, it looks like I'll go for some Autosol Coca Cola and a household scouring pad/sponge Although I do like this as it seems less scratchy!! For those asking on a price, I'd want £300 for it, although I need to get the bracket welded back together I also have a Nur Spec R that I should really sell on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 What did you eventually go for ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlton Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 I'm going to go for the Autosol, I didn't get round to it this weekend as I had some other work to do on the Supra Will get some before and after pics up once done, hopefully next weekend!

Sheefa Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I have Autosol, Kleers and Meguiars metal polish. I still think the best by far for tougher stains/watermarks/light abrasions is Autosol so I woukd go with that. Kleers is excellent too but doesn't have as much cutting compound so only really good for lighter surface marks going by experience polishing damn polished rims!
