Fargo Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 just wondering, all those with polished bits under the hood, how do you keep it shiny. im debating how best to protect and clean my newly polished pipes. either a clear high temp laquer or maybe chrome plating (expense), or maybe el naturel.

Fargo Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 lol yeh yeh was waiting fot the inuendo. so spray with WD to protect, assume that excess is wiped off. but do you give me a clean first before spraying, if so what do you use. a simple metal cleaner etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I opted for chrome as alloy needs constant polishing to keep clean, and no lacquer will stay see through long, instead they will go yellow/brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colsoop Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 A carnauba wax applied regulalrly will stop them tarnishing, if they have dulled then a metal polish applied with a sponge and then wiped off with a microfibre cloth works well followd by wax.
