juicygoolies Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 So I have a TRD exhaust in my garage awaiting fitting. It's 2nd hand and is covered with stuff that looks like ancient molten rock or something lol. Looks like a layer of molten rock crust... How the feck do I get rid of this and make it shine again?

antmax7 Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) Go to asda or morrisons. In the house hold cleaning section where all the cleaning cloths and sponges are they have wire ribbon sponges buy them they are cheap u usually get 2 in a pack use this with soapy water to get all black crap off the buff it up using autosol or metal polish DO NOT USE BRILLO PADS Edited May 14, 2011 by antmax7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juicygoolies Posted May 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Cheers. Those pads are tough right? Because the mud/dirt or whatever it is looks pretty thick. Will any polish work? I have pledge and megs car polish lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoryK Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Autosol, its bloody good, used it to clean mine up and it will cut through all that black crust in no time. Give it a clean with a normal sponge, lets it dry and then egt an old rag, a tube of autosol and get cleaning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawyer Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Tardis, Autosol, wire wool. Lots of Elbow grease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harwood Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Here's another vote for autosol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbdags Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Autosol. You don't need wire wool. Just some old rags - the stuff is miraculous! Here's mine after I attacked it with just autosol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndps Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Really got to know what the crud on the exhaust is first. Hitting it with autosol is going to do zilch if the crud is concrete. If the crud is rust, then you are looking at wire wool, sanding, wire cup brush on a drill to get it off. If it's just road tar, then I'd be wiping with thinners first, ideal at disolving tar spots. Then I'd look at polishing. But got to get the crud off first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigstring Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 I used oven cleaner first as it takes almost anything off, watch your hands and eye's, and do it out side or your get a little wobbly after 5 mins, then autosol it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
