All in all it’s an easy process worth doing once every year maybe.
Red scotch bite pad has it like new in half the time 👍🏻
Thanks for the tip. Will keep it in mind next time.
I tried the Harpic 10x method with Autosol or Selpar polish and they came out looking perfect on my Speed Twin. Will try this next time.
If your technique was perfect then maybe don’t change it.
It was the gold/brass/bronze look that I liked straight away. Don't know why anyone would want to remove it.
After a week or so it was back to normal so I wanted to clean it up because it had some black spots on it and I didn’t like them but thanks for the comment
Very thin sandpaper was the caption.
Did you mean very fine?
What grit is what I believe to be the missing component.
Either way, they came clean
Yes I do mean very fine sand paper. Sorry for my English didn’t know the term.
We never had that problem when manufacturers weren’t so bloody tight and chromed the exhaust down pipes.
I guess they were going for the brushed finish. I don’t mind to be honest but there were some black spots I wanted to remove that’s why I did it.
Donot use sand paper use only autosol it is very easy to use and it will make a better job.
I haven’t tried that. Next year maybe. I plan on doing this once a year or even more. Thanks for the tip
Totally agree Autosol Bluing Remover works with much less effort.
It's not like new at all. You've just polished it back to bare metal and removed the brushed finish. Please do not do this to your exhaust unless you specifically want a mirror finish.
Probably you’re right. But the exhaust became again in a few rides as it was.
That looks really good. Mine are really discoloured and the bike is brand new. How long did it last before they discoloured again?
It very long. I would say something like 5-6 months maybe?
Does the brown and blue colouring come back after a long while so you have to clean it again?
Yes it does but that’s the way this exhaust is build. I don’t mind that. There where some black marks that I wanted to remove. And this method works if something melts on the exhaust as well.
I have a rs sprint, fine steel wool and WD works good
Thanks for the tip
I’d go old school wrap personally 😊
Looks nice indeed but not sure
Sandpaper? I'll use wet & dry, very fine grade, 3000 or more
I think I had up to 2000. Can’t remember now but yes needs fine grade
Veramente un bel risultato ..
Grazie
wire wool maybe?
Yes could work but it will not make it as shiny.
I would be concerned about removing material. that's just me thou. Looks good both ways.
Thanks for the comment. I’ll keep it in mind for future reference
Harpic bleach black bottles apply, rub wash off 👍
I’ve since learned that trick. Thanks 🙏
But do make sure you wash it off or rust will appear😮
Pano e massa de polir é o suficiente...não aconselho usar lixa🧐
Maybe. Thanks for the comment
磨く前の焼けたパイプの方が好きです。
私も好きです。しかし、彼女には黒い跡があり、私は彼女をきれいにしたかった. 2～3回乗ったら元に戻りました。
I hope Google helped translate the text properly. Greetings from Greece.
It helps if you’re tweaking. 🙀😹
I hope it does. 👍
The best exhaust cleaner is actually coca cola believe it or not! Try it, you’ll be amazed 👍
Just that? Nothing more? A cloth and coke?
@@TripleSound Coke and household green scrubby 😉
I believe it. Had a can in my basement fridge for a few months and it ate a hole through the bottom of the can. I don't drink it, someone had brought some over for a party.
No no no dont do this..use solvolautosol and microfiber cloth..comes up better than new with no scratches.
Will try next time. Although I had no scratches afterwards. But thanks for the tip.
golden loks beter anyway

I cleaned the pipes of my Triumph Street Twin with "OptiGlanz Edelstahl-Reiniger" (OptiGlanz Stainless Steel Exhaust and Pipe Cleaner) in less than 5min.
"Produkt zur Reinigung von Edelstahlfelgen, Auspuffen oder anderen Artikeln aus Edelstahl. Einfach aufsprühen, 1 - 3 Minuten warten und mit klarem Wasser abspülen." Google translate: Product for cleaning stainless steel rims, exhaust pipes or other stainless steel items. Simply spray on, wait 1 - 3 minutes and rinse off with clear water.
And yes, it worked perfectly. My pipes looked like new without brown or blue discolorations. No hours of fiddling with pastes and emery cloth. You only have to avoid skin contact because its an acid. And don't breathe the fumes. It smells like almonds. A sign of very unhealthy cyanide.
Thanks for the tip. Don’t know if this available in my country but will look into it. Thanks 🙏 again
