Will-MK7 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Took 2 or so hours to clean to then clean the pretty much black wheels to find a nice surprise :( Pictures are from an iPhone so may not be the best quality!

Marcr1 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 They look marred, plus they're black on the inside. Car itself looks stunning though, can't beat a clean blue S1600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car itself looks stunning though, can't beat a clean blue S1600 I see what you mean by the inside, I will get some more soft cloths and give it a proper clean inside! What do you use?

Marcr1 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Not the best pics but here is a 50/50 of my exhausts off the S1600: Products used: Metal Polish! Great stuff... works wonders on the kitchen taps to ;) http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/auto-finesse-mercury.html Along with some wirewool #00 grade http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/accessories/wire-wool/prod_377.html Mix some polish on the wirewool and get rubbing, followed by some more polish on a microfibre, then a clean microfibre to remove excess polish and buff out. They'll come out like brand new, guaranteed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Sven Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 A polishing ball with the size of your exhaust tips for your drill is also a nice way to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can even see a bit of water beading on the top of the exhaust. Clean exhausts definitely set off a car, also liking how you can see the shininess of the inside of the exhausts :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
