Hey Phil, what do you recommend to clean an entire exhaust?
I just got a used Blitz NUR and the piping is looking kinda ugly. And also the tip needs some kind of polish I assume?

thanks in advance

Phil,
Did you answer this and i missed it? I have a 2003 bmw sedan dark blue with all kinds of paint scratches and oxidation and I was wondering which Menzerna polish to order.

Menzerna Intensive Polish PO 91E
- or -

Menzerna Polishes PO85RD

I am using a rather basic orbital polisher and probably need to move up the chain a bit to a PC or something like it

if you move up the chain I would go for the flex over the pc if you already know how to use the orbital, the flex is an orbital with more power and speed.


Menezerna IP first with a green ccs pad followed by Menzerna 85rd followed by a blue ccs pad.

Here is the flex if you pre order it I can do free shipping.

I've got a few rock chips on my roof, they are all rusty. What can I use to get rid of the rust before I use touch up paint!........i was thinking of just scrubbing them lightly with a soft tooth brush.

PSI I have a regular one 1000 psi to 1800 psi should be more than enough. Don't use it close to the car and have it in an angle position.

What would be the recommended car wash soap : water mixing ratio and mixing head setting for the Gilmour foam gun? I'm using Adam's Car Wash if it makes a difference.
