Exhaust pipes scratch removal/clean up
Hey guys, I recently bought an HKS exhaust off someone for my ISx50, unfortunately the previous owner didnt keep it in that great of a condition since there is a lot of tar and scratches on it.
So I'm just wondering how do you guys get out the scratches? I've removed 90% of the tar with some tar remover(not sure how to remove the rest) and used some Never Dull, but the scratches are still there, any recommendations? (I rather not use steel wool)
Thanks in advance!

That is correct, one the old school tricks. I wouldn't use anything harsher than 0000. The results with a mothers powerball and mothers polish will be night and day difference, plus some added protection. It's hard to beat any Mothers product, that is available over the counter.

The P21S Finish Restorer is my go to metal polish when I need a deep cleaning. If that doesn't work you could try the 0000 steel wool, but I only use this when nothing else works. Good luck!
