Quick video showing how I polish the exhaust headers on my BMW R1200GS. Start with powerful limescale remover and then polish. Music credit - Kielicaster
@@gmcharlton Your timing is perfect. I ordered some wheel buffers from Amazon and used a Japanese buffing compound that I had used before. It turned out well but I need to try and keep up with it.
Ha ! 😂 nice. Mine weren't as bad as yours. I've got a severe case of Bike OCD ! I use about a 2ft length of cloth x 6" fold it down about 2" wrap it twice round the pipe and use Autosol crome polish and pull it backwards n forwards polishing the full circumference of the pipe. I use the same method on End Can on my GS but with a Single.... works a treat 👍
I use Autosol as well and have been happy with the results. I have used long white gym socks and split them length wise to make a longer buffing cloth.
good day where can i check to see why the windshield not want to go down when switching off yet works no problem with the switch up or down r1200rt bmw
The top of headers start to yellow again fairly quickly - a few months. So it something to keep as part of routine cleaning. It was about 2 years since I had last done it.
My OC nature loves this 😁 ... well done great job 👍🏻
That’s better than mine have ever looked , after a clean. 👍🏻
Great video how to for a great result. Thanks from Australia. 👌
Excellent!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!
I can see what I will need to be doing to my bike. Thanks, for the info.
Very well done! Nice and shine!
Thanks.
Seriously, you just motivated me to do this over the weekend. Great video!
How did it go?

That's close to my spoke method using string socked in ACF50. I just use autosol on my end can.

I also do that on my penis.
Amazing, thank you.
Good video!
Preciso fazer isso na minha também, mas vou fazer ao meu modo e usando só as mãos, e vai ficar até melhor.
Thanks for at great video. What kind of cloth are you using with the Harpic Power?

After that all, apply a ceramic sealant!
Great idea but why not just take them off and polish them on a polishing wheel?
Sweet job. I’m going to do this on my 2012 RT. I’m guessing this takes you about an hour?
how long before it got all blue and dark again?
I cleaned mine, and after few minutes all the effect was gone xD
Brilliant. Where do you buy the polishing stuff?
It came from Amazon as a starter kit.

BLACK DOMESTOS👍🏻
Couldn’t you just start with the polish and get the same results .

how long does it last before you have to do it again?

why do you do this, it's nice to see signs of use I think. bb and thump up
Mucho pedo. En BMW venden un pulidor de escape. Lo embarras quitas y listo
Unless you have nothing else to do with your time i wouldn't bother it's only going to go back to were it was before!10/10 for effort though.
Красиво конечно. Вот только нахера?!
Valla chapuza, solo pule la parte que se ve, debería haber desmontado el colector de escape para hacerlo bien
You are damaging your stainless steel. Harpic contains hydrochloric acid which dissolves the nickel in the stainless steel.
It is well rinsed off and I don't recommend doing this every week. Thanks for your comment.
