Avoid polishing the exhaust altogether by having it Zircotec'd (inside & out) which also has the added benefit of adding about 2-3% power and NEVER have to polish it ever again!

Re: Polished silencer
Find some really fine wire wool and apply really light pressure to polish using the Autosol Blue.
Remember to wear gloves as it's caustic !
Can finish off if required with a cloth.

Re: Polished silencer
I'm thinking of going down the Zircotec route on the new one if the Factory don't think that it will be an issue on the turbo car. I hated the exhaust looking messy and I hated cleaning it after every run out, so I'm hoping that this will be the solution!

Re: Polished silencer
I know its bit anal - but my winter pass time - I'm looking forward to being in the garage, listening to the rain tippling on the roof, music on, maybe a cool one in hand - polishing the exhaust by hand!

Re: Polished silencer
If you’re really being anal, take it off and mess up the kitchen.
Much easier, warmer, you won’t skin your knuckles so much and you won’t miss any bits!
