Title: Another Polish
Post by: froudy on Sunday, 02 April 2017, 11:05 PM
Just finished polishing another system for a mate over in Trowbridge.
I've done a couple of Akrapovic systems for him and they are quick and relatively easy..This Arrow system however was a pig to do. Maybe quality of the stainless not as good..Not sure :furious:

Before..

And after about 4 hours hard graft..

Well done!
The pity thing, it will not stay so shiny for long :(

But it doesn't matter - I myself also polish them before every season  :8:

Thanks..Now that they're all shiny again they shouldn't be to difficult for him to keep shiny all the time.
Quick once over with an old green pot scourer and Autosol should do the trick :onya:

If he ever lets them get as bad as they were to begin with, he can polish them himself :imrgreen:
