Came out great. Not perfect but dang nice compared to before. Non scratch scotchbrite pad with some mothers metal polish. TONS of elbow grease. I am sore as crap and cannot hold my arm up.

This is just the first phase. I can only reach so much with my fingers. I will wait a few weeks to see if it holds nice and clean/shiny before putting anymore work into them. Very happy with the results.

Here is a comparison with only one pipe done...




Here is all 4 done...



You can see down at the collector I need to work on more. In time.. :D Slowly working on cleaning here up piece by piece.

Saw somewhere about cleaning the silicon off after polishing with alcohol. I've polished my headers a couple of times and after a few rides, stains again. Thinking that it's the silicon in the wash n wax I'm using.

I'll definitely keep an eye out for it. THanks.
