I picked up a used Comptech and its discolored as usual with stainless. I tried mother metal polish and it can get a lot of it off, but the bronzed blotches remain. I tried a light scotch pad and still nothing. I hear bikers using something called Yoshimura Stain Magic, but I cant find anyone who carries it. I know its just going to discolor again, but I might as well do what I can before I put it on.

Any other tips?

 

Interested in this as well - BUMP!

 

I hear Flitz's metal polish is pretty good. I'm going to try them after I run out of Mothers.

 

If you want to remove all of the yellow/gold color off of it, then you must use a product like Lime Away. I'd highly recommend doing this off of the car though, as that stuff will eat through everything. Get yourself a bucket and some rubber gloves. Take a brush or sponge with the Lime Away and wipe it on the stainless pipe. Like magic, you will see the discoloring go away! After that I usually clean them off, and then use scotch brite (if it's a brushed finish) to detail it out.

I've been working in the motorcycle business for 20+ years now, and this method was taught to me by the owner of a high performance exhaust manufacturer. When he first told me about it I thought he was crazy, but after I tried it, I was a believer and always had the nicest looking stainless pipes out there.

Good luck.

 

Flitz works very well on my stainless exhaust

 

I tried Blue Away from a bike shop and it works, but just a lot of rubbing. Im going to try lime away. I dont need it perfect, but might as well do what I can before I install it.

Thanks

 

Be sure to report back on your results...I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

 

you should be to go to any Lowes or home depot and pick up some stainless steel cleaner. It will come in a spray bottle and a conditioner that should be a cream. works well on everything stainless without marring the finish

After, Lime Away which worked great and was easy.
