MikeE Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Need my Raceline 4 into 1 big bore system polished. Last time I had it done (4 years ago 😳) via Raceline (I think Cheesemans did it) I wasn't particularly impressed with the result and the primaries tarnished before I drove out of the garage!  Seen some old threads saying it needs to be a mirror finish or it tarninshes again within a few hundred miles. So any recommendations around Fleet?   Duratec R538 Build and Modification Pictures here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew G Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I got a local metal polisher out of yellow pages they did the primaries, collector and silencer for £40 Might be worth a few phone calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeE Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 Richard, is that a personal recommendation of their exhaust polishing skills or the fact they'll make me laugh? I'd like to find somewhere with a track record of producing a finish which last cos last time the primaries went mat grey within days 😔    Duratec R538 Build and Modification Pictures here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardm57 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Hi Mike, i have used them long time ago not the fastest but very good. The exhaust will still tarnish more so if gets wet.I have given up trying to keep exhaust in good condition. The is what is outside of factory. Give them a bell and get a pickup date from them, they used to be very busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred_gustafsson Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Or you could do it yourself. Use Autosol on a bit of old jeans fabric and start rubbing. Works a treat and takes less time than you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stationary M25 Traveller Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Once you get it nice, use Peek Polish for its claimed anti-tarnish properties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
