Polishing Your Exhaust Tips with P21S

Today we'll tackle exhaust tip polishing.  We will be using P21S Polishing Soap and going after the BRZ's exhaust tips.  P21S Polishing Soap is a clay based polish first designed for silversmiths actually and has been designed for use on chrome, polished surfaces, and many other metal surfaces.  As with any product try it out in an inconspicuous spot first.

So here we are.  We'll start off by cleaning the tips and surrounding areas with Chemical Guys V07, I use this product because it is a hybrid of detail spray while also having some sealant properties.










Here's what we've picked up, quite a bit of dirt but nothing too tragic.  Driving through the rain (yes here in Vegas we occasionally get rain) bounced up a few splashes of water.  But now it's time for polishing.  The polishing soap comes with a sponge in the polishing container that is quite abrasive.



 First to wet it until it's damp.


Then squeeze out the extra water until it's damp.


Give it a good swipe until there's a good layer of soap on it.  Be advised a little goes a long way with this product.


Lather the sponge and go to work on the exhaust tip, working in multiple motions until it's been polished to your liking.


You can see even after cleaning embedded dirt lies within the metal and comes out when heavily worked with.


But nothing a simple rinse can't fix!


And here we are brand new and sparkling clean again!




Thanks for reading!
