mr v6 Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 This system was already on the car when I bought it a year ago, I've seen a number of pics of the system both on here & the internet & they all appear to have a mirror finish, whereas mine is sort of a satin finish. I've polished it with Autosol, Mothers MAG & aluminium polish & Megs NXT metal polish. It comes up better, but certainly not a mirror finish I wanted. Their website as of now doesn't give you a choice of finishes other than the tailpipe.. Quote
Kev Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 Maybe it has been cleaned with something abrasive? Quote
SpeckUK Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 Mines been on for about a year now and I wouldn't say it's mirror it's more just stainless but hey I bet if I spent a few good hours it might get close! Quote

Yours doesn't have the burnt tips, I presume you opted not to have them? Yours looks like what mine does. I've been out again tonight with some Megs NXT metal polish to clean it up. I could probably get a better finish if I spent longer on it, but to be honest, I don't fancy lying on the ground for that long, neighbours will think I'm odd. Quote

Funny story to that I kinda polished the blue tint off the tips "oops" pro tip don't autosol the burnt tips so there sitting on my shelf kinda prefer it with out them on to be honest yeah the laying on the ground bit hurts after about 5mins but I have access to a lift so I'll do it at some point!

ASemper Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) Mine has never been mirror like either, not that I have given it that much polishing to be fair. Edited August 18, 2017 by ASemper Quote
mr v6 Posted August 18, 2017 Author Posted August 18, 2017 Cheers for the replies guys, at least it's not just my system that appears to be like this. Quote
