Octavia vRS mk1 Exhaust ..... how to clean up?

Featured Replies

It's kind of tarnished at the moment.... I'm after something to clean it up with? Has anyone used a particular product that cleaned it up nice without trashing it?

... something ideally available at halfords maybe?

Autosol works wonders on stainless.

Yep - Autosol works for me too - perfect. I think Halford's stock an Auto Glym style equivalent metal polish - but i haven't tried it.

Just to add to the Autosol fanclub..

I still use it for my mk 2 rs as well.

Should have seen the shine I got on my termis on the ducati (rear endplates only of course)

Try a lemon first and a bit of bicarbonate of soda.

Very cheap and works pretty well from what I have seen.

If you want to go further on the twin pipes and box, some wire wool and autosol/metal polish will work well.

Solvol Autosol. :)

Brasso is great stuff and less that £2 from the supermarket.

Brought my exhaust up like new

Hmm there appears to be autosol metal cleaner and autosol polish, both claim to do exactly the same though!

WD-40 - spray on when it's hot - works well.....

Make sure you rub it all off well though, as it looks rubbish if you don't! I also doesn't seem to get any of the black stuff off the inside though. But on the outside its great!

Don't ask for it in the chemist - you might end up with Anusol.

I'll get me coat.

On the car or yourself?

On the car, silly. On my exhaust pipe would be a bit off topic
