30years Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 I used a scotch brite pad and wd-40 and quite a bit of elbow grease before. But if u have access to a buffing wheel u can get some polishing compound and that works a lot faster. Quote
ticktock Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 I sand blasted mine, then took them to a powder coated and had them do a ceramic coating in white. It looked great, the high temp coatings didn't flake or chip. I have punted T5's now. When I do my rebuild I am going to ceramic coat these aswell. I don't like the chrome look unless everything is bling bling. My Harley has a bunch of chrome and I hate polishing Adam Quote
Lowflyin Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 I always use a wire wheel but that's on 4 stroke head pipes. Not sure how well it would work for what you need but it sure cleans then fast. Quote
Bkm2006 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 wire wheel ha ..... i did the steel wool and mine came out pretty nice im just picky as hell though... going to send mine over to jl for rechrome Quote
Boone Posted February 5, 2012 Report Posted February 5, 2012 steel wool. then buffing wheel. X2. No sense contaminating a nice buffing wheel. Quote
Poolman Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 I cleaned my pipes last night. I used this stuff called Copper Brite. It comes in a 16 oz bottle. Just follow the directions on the bottle. Pipes took me about 1 hour to clean and turned out great. IMO much easier than the steel wool method which I have done before. I don't remember where we bought it but I know we didn't buy it to clean exhaust pipes, lol. I was trying all kinds of household chemicals last night until I tried this Copper Brite stuff and I looked at the sponge and wholla it had that black tarnish on it heavily and for the little bit of elbow grease I put into it I know what to use next time again.

camatv Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 use pressure washer to blast off the dirt. clean with chrome polish. those pipes up there are cover'd in baked on dirt i dont think that was rust.. i have some actual rusty as all get out pipes! might have to try that copper cleaner?

Lowflyin Posted February 10, 2012 Report Posted February 10, 2012 Obviously wouldn't use a wire wheel on chrome If you are cleaning them to paint though, works great.. Quote
