Hi guys, just had a dremel for my birthday I also bought the cleaning and polishing kit, however I am a little confused with what heads to use for what etc. Does anyone have ant tips looking to clean up my exhaust and having a go with my prodrive diff guard? Going to use Blackfire metal polish.

Any help

one of ther guys on here posted up a prodrive diff guard that looked amazing, he must have used a dremel.

ok 1st try








50/50 seems to be working really well so far. needs a little more work then i plan on painting the prodrive in black and the line in blue make it stand out a little more, fo £150 you never see it under the car so this will make it stand out a little more

any feedback welcome tips etc

Great tool, i have a racing quad and had to trim some of the body work to fit twin exhausts ended up using a knife and a power drill and made a real mess under the seat, it will never be seen but still its better to do the job right, bet its great for building rc cars

Sorry I didn't catch this in time to help, but you seem to have sussed it very well all on your own - great result! We wouldn't be without our Dremel - it's regularly saved us real ballache on exhausts that just won't clean up by hand. We tend to use wire brush attachments first to take off bonded carbon and the like, and then switch to felt polishing pads and the metal polishes for bringing up a mental shine. On some occasions, we've even had to use a mini grinder attachment to shift really tough soot deposits, but this needs care if the underlying metal is not to be permanently marked. Top tip - tape off the bumper surrounding the exhaust very thoroughly; once slip with the Dremel and you can easily screw the paint on the bumper. Better to spend five mins taping up rather than visiting the bodyshop!
