hi Guys, I’am looking for Some good advice to cleaning the exhaust pipes from my termignoni system. What is a good way to clean this? Is Scottish-brite a good thing? I want to have it almost like new if possible and How to stay it as new Thank you in advance!
Autosol with a rag will get your pipes back to "brand new shiney look" fairly easily Then use https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Autosol-...895101&hash=item3626aebdc9:g:MesAAOSwbtNaHEmv after rides to stop the tarnish build up. I wouldn't use a scotchbrite.
I did mine on my 1098R thread a few years back. A few pages in if you wanted to take a look https://www.ducatiforum.co.uk/threads/1098r-project.36390/
Interessting topic to read Do you still have the bike? You polish your exhaust in 2016 How does it look right now? Still shiny or? Other question How many torque does your bike have? Thanks!
Yep, still have it. Pipes are as good as new after 3 years. I think I've only done about 1,000 miles on it and it's never seen rain though. Pic opportunity.
Scottish brite on an orbital palm sander will bring up like new in no time (if you fancy a mat finish). For mirror polishing, wet & dry up to 1200 grit and autosol. Polished loads of exhausts over the years but I personally prefer the satin finish. If I wanted a mirror finish i’d just take them to get polished as it’s miles cheaper time wise.
I havent tried it, but I was talking to some one with sparkling stainless exhausts who swears by harpic, yes the loo cleaner, he says just apply it with a brush leave it a few minutes rinse off. I will give it a go and see how it works.
How about the anodised cans? Anyone got any tips for reconditioning these? When they’re scratched etc.
