ceramic sidepipes
Is there any way to polish out light scratches in the ceramic on the sidepipes and headers? If so what's the best way to do it
Thanks, Terry |
I don't see scratches as that big of a problem, it's the other stuff you pick up on the road that is, You know, the stuff that melts and embeds to the metal!. Although I did find a way to get it off, a 3" cloth buffing wheel mounted in a die grinder, and use a medium grit polishing compound. So far I have not screwed up the ceramic coating, this will probably take care of the scratches.

Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try.

I've used "Scotchbrite" and then "Simichrome" to get small scratches out. After that, I use "Eagle One" Aluminum/Chrome polish. Works pretty good. I also found that the Eagle One works well on painted aluminum wheels to remove brake dust that is caked on. You could also try 3M's "Imperial Microfinishing Compound Liquid". Their product number is: 051131-06011. It works great on gelcoat (boats etc) if you use a wheel at low rpm.
They sell it at most body/collision repair paint shops/stores. Hope this helps, good luck! Kim |
