could you please post a picture of the tools you used to clean up your exhaust

I dont have any pics, but I used an air tool with a wire wheel attachment that I got from home depot. After that I polished it with mothers polish. If you need any help, feel free to message me

Do you plan on doing mini tubs or wider quarter panels in rear or there is a chance to fit wider tire without touching anything?
