Default Mothers Metal Polish "Magic"

Finally was getting fed up with the corrosion and rust build up on my $1200 TurboXS Turboback exhaust. Had some Mothers Aluminum and Mag polish and some terry clothes and went to work at it. When I actually got down upclose I had my doubts based on how bad the metal looked, but i figured the polish should be able to do something....and boy it did.



Here you can see a lot of rust around the Titanium exhaust tip



Like New!





So if you are looking for something to bring your axle back to new life, I'd give this stuff a shot. Only took about an hour to do!

for the above picture, you need to get some 0000 steel wool (very fine grade), spray some cleaner on the exhaust (i used sonax wheel cleaner) and scrub with the 0000 steel wool, after that all the rust will be removed, then you can polish it with metal polish..... it will look like new...
