Yup...it got a little tarnished in the past year and a half... I love the bronze, but with the vented hood, some moisture got on it and turned real ugly....

Looks good, what did you use to polish it?

Shame, I really like the heat discolouration.

Still, I expect it will be back in no time.

Yes, after a quick lap around Detroit, the bronze is back...

I used mother's metal polish, a dremmel and a buffing pad on my drill. Took longer than expected, but well worth it to remove the spots of corrosion.

I wish Tarnex cleaned it this good!

A couple of weeks ago I too went nuts with a comptech exhaust that needed some TLC!





Spent the day with a polishing wheel and extra fine steel wool with Blue Magic metal polish.
