Mighty Stang · November 23rd, 2011, 06:31 PM

Might want to hit up the detailing section lol, it's there for a reason.

As far as OTC stuff, I like Mothers synwax and mothers aluminum/mag polish. Both work great. I believe you can only get the synwax at orielly's, they also sell the polish.

regular wax will work on chrome, used to use on my rims all the time, might not be the proper thing to use, but what can I say I gotta degree in ghetto detailing, use what you got

Criscone · November 24th, 2011, 09:34 AM

i agree, i wax everything with mothers gold class. Wheels/paint etc.

God i can't remember his name! he just bought that new vert terminator and put ccw wheels on it and had that silver gt that was a plastic dip roof. He just did his catback but i thought he had a kit with bunch of shit.

It would be a great day for detailing here in Minnesota. For the cat back i would use a good degreaser then a polish. That depends on your metal, if its stainless use a polish for that then mothers for the tips. Just get it all off or it will bake when it heats up and could leave a nasty film.

Mighty Stang · November 24th, 2011, 01:27 PM

yes they are stainless

Macunicorn · November 24th, 2011, 01:40 PM

I used the Meguiars Chrome Polish on stainless. It worked well for me.

Borla sells a special cleaner/polish made specifically for SS exhaust. Just Google it. As for the car, I always get excellent results with anything by Maguires. If it hasn't been polished in a while, I would start with a "cleaner wax" and a clay bar treatment, then the final wax.

Valvoline has a line called Carbrite, I like their products. I can honestly say their nanowax is the best wax I have ever seen. They also have a metalbrite that did everything I asked.

Only thing is I don't know if you can get a hold of it, might poke around a bit on detailing websites.

You're thinking of Spurred Snake, but I think you're confusing him with Aces Wild, who did his catback (and entire car)? Check out this thread, page three he talks about polishing the catback:

For the heck of it I bought a bunch of exhaust polish cleaners and tested them out as well as did a mini review for people. That Borla stuff ehhh it's okay but WAYYY overpriced.

Best stuff on the market: Mothers® Billet Metal Polish

As for WAX: Zaino Store

^ We have a local MN dealer who could help you out as well. But overall wax is tricky because everyone thinks they're right (they know the best type/maker) and others are brand loyal. It's personal preference

spurred snake is who your thinking of , but he doesnt have ccw's he has VXR's i think, also are you sure you arent thinking of Aces Wild ? i know he polished his termis exhaust awhile back.

*edit: brokenweasel beat me to it*
