I've had a stain(dark brown-like cosmoline?) on one of my exhaust tips since I took delivery. Tried gas, alcohol, WD40--nothing worked. Soooo, I get the 'bright'(not) idea to try that little green 'thing' that came with each of my chips. You know, that Scotchbrite thing?

Just call me Gomer--it got rid(no, it reduced) of the stain but left a fine line of scraches on my ceramic tips. WHAT'S BABBOLT'S NUMBER?

I did the same thing last year. Screwed 'em up good.

 

LIGHTNINROD
give mothers mag & aluminum polish a try might
remove the scratches

 

You think thats stupid. I got overspray (from where they were painting a water tower) on the windshield of my 91 Vette.....and I used a Scotchbright pad on my windshield!!! Needless to say it ACCIDENTLY got busted by a rock (from the road of course).

 

Thanks guys---I'm thinkin' of tellin' my honey that these tips have become radioactive or sumpthin'--where's BaBolt's number?

No, no, wait; it's leprosy!

I like my BAbolt tips and the way they cllean up. I really like the billet TB he sent me this week. If you really need his # I have his e-mail, or, I think I've seen them athttp.//www.svtlightnings.com .

 

Needforspeed:
If you're seriously considering replacing tips, you have nothing to lose if you try to clean up yours. The coating on them is pretty thick and can take some polishing. I polished mine out starting with scotchbrite, then heavy, medium and light compound, then polish. Then I used Never Dull untill they looked clean. The secret to using progressive compounds and polishes is to thoroughly clean off each time between compounds and polishes. I guarantee that after about 1/2 hour, you'll be pleased with the results.

 

OOPS!
Sorry Needforspeed... meant to addresss this to Lightninrod. Definitely wouldn't use heavy abraisives on polished stainless (though it too can take alot of polishing!)

 

Ed: thanks..clean with what? soap & water, gas, etc.?
