Exhaust Tipe - Toyota Yaris Forums

RSboyz · 02-16-2011, 12:22 PM

Hello everyone:

I have a Borla dual tipe exhaust that was sold as an accessory piece from toyota canada. I don't know if they still have the same one for sale. Anyways, I would like to polish or recondition the exhaust tipe and the muffler as it is very dirty and the tipe does not have the shiny look to it anymore.

Anybody know any good "Do It Yourself" methods that would bring the shine back up, please let me know.

I'm considering using a mesh wheel on a drill but I'm afraid it's going to leave some pretty bad scratch marks on the metal so please help me out. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Chrome or Jeweler's Polish.

use a slow drill, a flitz or mother's polishing ball...or a COTTON microfiber cloth with a good polishing compound.

do not go fast with the polish compound or you're gonna take off too much material. follow the directions on teh polish compound. i can suggest 3m chrome or aluminum polish. take your time, go slow, and make even passes...dont just do one thumb print sized spot.
