Cleaning Exhaust
I have removed my Prodrive backbox & centre section & cleaned the rubbish off them. Any recomendations for cleaning off the tar and bringing the shine back before I store or sell it?
Thanks
Steve

Using 000grade wirewool and Autosol to finish.
Some people use Brilo pads wet as the cleaning agent helps lift off the grime.
Have used both but it all depends on how discolored the exhaust is.
Both will bring it up like new with work.

Autosmart Tardis will make short work of the tar removal stage, and then any good quality metal polishes as described above.

Do you spray the Tardis directly on or put on a cloth and rub it in?
I have Tar on the bottom of my back box.

I have found Mr. Muscle oven cleaner the best for caked up exhausts.
Believe it or not, it works a treat!

Spray the Tardis directly to the back box and let it sit for 10/20 seconds then wipe off
