Presidential Detailed: Reconditioned 350Z Injen Exhaust

[presidential_detail]

Hope this is the right place, I do a lot of work for a local shop here in tampa and I was called in to polish a set of exhaust pipes that came off a twin-turbo 350Z. He sold the exhaust to another member who owns a show car and wanted them polished before picking them up. I had no idea I would be able to get a finish like this out of them though!

Products Used:
-#0000 Steel wool by Hand
-Using Adams Metal Polish #1
-Lots of Cobra Jr. Deluxe MicroFiber Towels
-Meguairs G110 DA Machine with
-Lake Country White 5" Flat Pad
-Using Adams Metal Polish #2 at Speeds 4-5
-Sealed with two coats of Optimum Opti-Seal

This is one side before..

Now after side by side to show the difference.

Touched these up real quick as well..

Both sides finished in S&R Showroom.

Very nice work, at what point did you actually start to see the change? was it during the steel wool part or later?

After using the steel wool, the exhaust was considerably better and actually silver at that point, but I dont think I got that final luster until after working the second polish by machine. Thanks!
