Guys,



A client of ours has a full stainless steel exhaust fitted to his Ultima and has experienced an oil leak. This has then dried and baked on.

We have tried fine gauge wire wool with Mother's Mag and Ali and this removes most but not all of the substance. We are left with dark marks.



Anyone got any other ideas as what to use?



Cheers



Kev
 
Ric,



Thanks, yes the actual lump has come off but we are left with a stain !! So much for stainless steel I guess?



Anymore ideas? :thx
 
when I have an exhaust in pretty bad shape I use laquer/paint thinner on it, it will get just about anything off but leaves a bit of haze wich can be polished off. I'd probably avoid using this on highly polished pieces though as it would surely strip off any type of clearcoat
 
Well, it's "Stainless" ;) If you do come up with something that works let us know. I've run into this a few times and have always stopped short of really abrading away lots of metal and then repolishing.



I have the same sort of thing on the exhaust system heat shields of the RX-7. Twenty-two years of some undercoating having been baked on. Nothing I've tried is working so I'm probably gonna live with it :(
 
You might try Luster Lace. Can be ordered online or picked some up at a Harley dealer.
 
3Dog- Any idea whether the Luster Lace is rebranded for other vendors? I have some stuff from Griot's that seems like the same stuff (and no, it didn't work on the baked on stuff either :( ).
