just bought a used exhaust, is there a specific cleaner I can use to clean out some of the gunk before installing it?

also, what can I use to make the pipes and mufflers look shiny again, I'm thinking brasso, would that be ok?

 

If it's chrome/stainless, try bathroom cleaner, and then windex for the streaks. Bathroom cleaner gets rid of gunk, and windex will remove streaks.

 

like 409? or tilex? and btw i wanted to clean the inside of the pipes

 

Pour some gas inthere and ignite

 

Dont clean the inside The carbon in there helps protect it

 

I use this purple stuff called Kaboom... it's just this foamy bathroom cleaner stuff.

 

is that an info-mercial product ?? sounds like bathroom cleaners are the way to go.

 

What I use to clean internals of an engine is ATF, so I'm sure it can handle some of that baked on gunk on your exhuast. Just poor some a spung or tooth brush or something and start scrubbing away.

 

thanks... this is gonna be fun.

 

Try this or silver polish for the outside. >httpww.stainlessworks.net/Cleaner-Polish.htm

 

well $15 seems a lot for some polish but I think I may get it... tried brasso and CLR and well... didn't do ***** form me

 

Straight kerosene on a rag is amazing at removing just about anything from metal. Kerosene is dirt cheap and a jug of it will last forever.
