Yeah, I used to do that. I was hoping someone ran across a good polish and could save me time/money.
I do recommend placing very well used tuned pipes in antifreeze inside a crock pot. DO NOT use your wife or mother's kitchen crock pot!!!! Either pick up a used one from a garage sale or buy them a new one for mother's day and use their old one. This cleans the inside of tuned pipes & headers very well. You'll be surprised how much crud comes out of one tuned pipe. After this process, polish and buff using Hot Rims. |

Mequiar's Hot Rims Mag & Aluminum Polish (paste not liquid) works extremely well to restore factory shine. Use a rag, polish in a circular motion frequently moving to a clean spot on the rag. For a finishing touch buff with a clean terry cloth towel. Note this will not remove large, baked on dirt, melted plastic, etc. Its more to restore the polish to those tuned pipes which simply have become tarnished over time.

I have a random question for anybody who knows, is there a noticeable difference in runtime going from high to low traction or vice versa?
Logic would dictate more runtime on high grip but is this the case? |
Retiring my 2nd BTT I went with the saying "Change is as good as a holiday" grabbed a Clio P5. Today was the 1st day off the box and on the track where I must say WOW change is good. I'd call it my goto mill for buggy with great power that is almost Electric smooth, if you have been hesitant in trying one don't be and pull the trigger. FYI ran 6.5 venturi, 25% nitro and 41021/2096.
