MZHammer · 11-13-2010, 04:59 PM

Nice work. What did you use?

wzjra · 11-13-2010, 05:06 PM

Nice work. But this is the first time I've seen them this dirty

For the inside, you can use some #0000 steel wool to polish them right up (not the best picture):

SteveInfante · 11-14-2010, 09:51 AM

I wonder if mine will get shiny like that. I haven't tried since I have had the car.

thekurgan · 11-14-2010, 10:03 AM

Mothers and 0000 steel wool, like dekaliber's pipes ... nice.

SteveInfante · 11-14-2010, 10:27 AM

Got that in the garage. I think I will try it the next time I wash the car.
