We'll yesterday afternoon I didn't have plans so I figured i'd polish my exhaust. I wasn't able to spend the time I wanted to on it, but overall it turned out pretty good. Here are some pics and my process is explained at the end of the post. Sorry for the dirty pics at the end, i'll get some without fingerprints in the next couple days... Enjoy
My process:
-Unbolted Catback
-Scrubbed off with an abrasive pad and wheel cleaner
-Sanded down with 400 grit
-Sanded down with 1000 grit
-Finally sanded with 1500
-Used Ported Cable Polisher and an abrasive orange pad and polished the cat back with Menzerna polish
-Wiped off Exhaust and put a coat of Never Dull on them
-Mounted exhasut back onto car
-Cleaned off fingerprints (Next step)

I could have shown you how to do that MUCH quicker than that.
Pretty easy with one of these
with stainless compound.

I don't have a bench grinder like that anymore and the exhaust isn't in the most practical shape to be using one of those on, I would think it would be a pita to work on like that.

Yes, but with the time frames you operate on bill, I think he'd still have beaten you. Originally Posted by WildBill
