yeah :lol:

 

TBH most of the hard work polishing was done by doogyrev, i just gave it its final shine. you can do it by hand but i thought i'd experiment with the dremel. worked well so i was happy with it :) i would say if your exhaust is in relly good nick already i'd go over it with 1500 grit and then autosol and then megs polish and it will be seriously good. this one isnt perfect but im happy enough with it. :)

 

cheers guys :thumbs:

ive got to do this next week on mine and to be completely honest im dreading it!!!

honestly go out and buy

a blowtorch

heatproof mat

a wire brush

a breaker bar

 

if thats not going to work you want an angle grinder.

 

also good idea to get some good axle stands

 

 

clean then blow toch the nuts first dont try anything else :thumbs:

Result! ive already got all of them apart from the breaker bar, im sure a bit of copper pipe will do the trick for leverage, im going to get a few more cutting blades for the dremel too

just make sure you dont use your ratchet on it, i know stating the obvious but will save someone a ratchet as it will fold under the pressure. :)

I was reading today that there is a new product on the market for this kind of problems, it's basically a spray can that freeze whatever it comes acrros (-25!) so it's makes it easy to do jobs like removing the exshaust etc. Could be dangerous :surrender:

 

Iv had some of that freeze spray for ages,its great fun,but not that useful i found. Better for scaring the @*!# out of people when you spray it on their finger! lol
