How am I Polishing Wrong?

[03cobra#694]

Yup, 8 hours on my Stingers. My arms and fingers hated me.

You can do that. Mine were looking rough so a shop stripped them and we were both surprised to see the stainless under there. Now it's just a matter of keeping up on them like the rest.

Nice! I figured it was possible.

Why would anyone want to polish their exhaust? It's under the car? LOL

Your wheels are under the car too. Like the wheels, the IRS exhaust is something under the car that is visible. Why wouldn't you polish it?

You guys that polish your exhaust are ****ing crazy, yes it looks great but you're still crazy!

I've been here just long enough to look under my user name to find out how many posts I've made. Apparently not long enough to catch some sort of implied joke. I saw your cute meme, but what'd I miss?

Kevin is the exhaust polish king. He has a "How to" on this subject.

He is also probably the first one to polish their exhaust on here. So he is to blame for the trend.

Oh yeah, I found it under the "Terminator How-To" forum listing. I don't know how many years I'd need to have been here before I would have come across that and been able to tell he was joking.

Yeah, I'm a complete dumbass for not cross-referencing all possible jokes with old threads and previous responses.
Calm your nerves. It's not the end of the world if I didn't know the guy was kidding. Give me 20 years and 50,000 posts to get caught up to the level of awesome you truly deserve from me.

Pft I’ve not been here long and knew what was going on lol. Username alone should have keyed you off.

Hand polishing is for the birds...

Get yourself 320grit on a drill and some WD40.. Then polished it with black compound then white... Half the effort..half the time.

 

[ajaf1656]

Everything I've said on this website was a joke, y'all didn't get because I made it seem as if I was new. I'm actually the most OG triple OG around.

 

[04sleeper]

Calm down Shirley. It was only a joke. Yes, I approve polished exhaust. LOL

 

[04torchred]

Once it's polished, they are easy to maintain (unless someone's DD'n one of these cars).

What's deteriorated on mine over time is not the polished pipes....they look great! It's actually the borla chromed tips that look like crap. I've actually thought about pulling the back section off, strip the chrome and try to polish it out mirror. I'd rather deal with that than look at this crappy chrome

Same problem I have with my borla tips. I talked to Borla and you can buy new as well.

I might just get them off and try to sand all the chrome and crap off to get down to bare metal.

 

[ajaf1656]

I'm just concerned because if polishing out an aftermarket system isn't universally accepted as standard practice, people will really laugh at how much effort I've put into cleaning up the stock pipes. Lol. They will be going on a Bullitt, so I really want to make sure they stand out.
Polishing and cleaning is nearly free so when I end up in a financial holding pattern, it's one of the few ways I can still "work on the car".

 

[Roots-type]

F other people and their standards. Problem solved.
