pssst, #0000 steel wool + windex (or your favorite glass cleaner) is cheaper and polishes them out just as well.

Tony, I met him last year at Carlisle; this kit was a 'no hassle' for a NON-Waxer like myself

The buff wheel really is the secret.

I've got my Zo6 motor about 35% polished... When I have some more done I plan to make a thread. Like Steve mentioned, I'm going to show a tutorial on what's needed and offer some tips.

On SS exhausts (or anything SS), #0000steel wool plus a glass cleaner will cut through any amount of tarnish/dirt/etc... very VERY quickly, no elbow grease required.

I use a buffer for everything (I detail a lot in my spare time), but exhaust is one place I wouldn't waste my time with it. ALmost always just grab the steel wool and it's done pretty quickly.

You can, if oyu want, apply a finishing polish afterwards, but I never bother. Usually comes out looking brand new with just the wool application.
