Any tips for a good product for cleaning stainless steel? My stainless exhaust tips are a little stained

[hamish_023]

As mentioned on previous page Autosol is the go.

[SegR]

Thanks guys.

Rooby I even asked the question the same day

Are the interior plastics on that Forester white/grey? It's certainly a little different.

[augo]

Autosol will be heaps better than Brasso!

How would I get old polish off the paint thats wasn't removed properly?
It's gone white, just in the cracks near the door handles etc....

+1 Isopropyl alcohol for polish/wax residue etc (diluted down to 10-20%) on a bit of micro fibre or all purpose cleaner and use an ear bud to get into those fine cracks

Cheers Gentlemen! Where do you buy this Iso gear?

[hamish_023]

Hardware store, Waxit.com, car care products. Just make sure you dilute it with water (deminarilised if possible)

[rooby]

Sorry guys, I usually read entire posts to make sure I don't duplicate, but at this time of night with this meta topic I couldn't be bothered. The one time

Never said you were!

It was implied

[hamish_023]

Never said you were!

It was implied

Then tell us what happened? has the whole thing gone brown or just part? patchy?

I haven't ever had it happen to me so not sure why or how?

[SegR]

Next Q: Where do you buy Iron-x? CCP & Waxit don't stock it anymore. Any reasonable alternatives?

[hamish_023]

Waxit still stock it, Antonio from waxit and Carpro are always working together and he would never drop Ironx...
