What's up guys? Welcome back to another episode of Chemical Guys Detail Garage. Today, we have
this heavily modified BMW 328i in the shop because the owner daily drives this vehicle
and his stainless steel exhaust tips have a heavy accumulation of carbon and all kinds of nasty brown stuff.
Now, this is something that happens to stock tips, stainless steel, chrome, any vehicle
that has straight piped or catless exhaust, or if you have a turbo or diesel. All that
carbon build up stains the chrome, stains the beautiful polished finish and then over
time, corrodes and pits it and can even permanently stain it. So, today, we are going to show
you how to properly clean it and restore that shine. Now, to begin, we are going to clean
that area. You see that I already taped off the textured black trim pieces because we
don't want to stain it with a cleaner or with some polish today so just some precautions
here using some regular painter's tape. Now, we are going to be using some Nonsense which
has been diluted 10:1 for a light cleaning job. You can use a quick detail spray or waterless
wash- anything to basically knock down the carbon. Now, I'll take a clean microfiber
towel and wipe away the excess and also the spent cleaner. I'm giving it a moment to saturate
and pick up the abrasive particles because not only are your exhaust tips exposed to
the carbon or any other kind of exhaust material, it's also exposed to road debris or anything else
that can collect on the surface. Just by
wiping it down you can see that it's nice and shiny on the outside just by taking off
a light layer. Go inside of here and wipe away any excess before we polish it, this way
we are not staining any of our polishing equipment and this way we are also not making a mess.
Like I was saying, just by wiping it down, it looks a lot better, but even still inside
there barrel there's some light staining, pitting, and that is what we are going to
remove today using Light Metal Polish and the Ball Buster. Now, it's important to have
something that cleans away as much of the abrasive particles or something that foams
up to help you lubricate the surface so you're not scratching it because on a finish like
this, you don't want to add any kind of inorganic scratches or anything that is really noticeable.
The foam starts to lift any abrasive particles you you can gently wipe it away. Now, we'll
grab our Ball Buster which I have already attached to a regular drill. You can use a
a wireless drill. Basically, what this is doing is it's going to take over the polishing
action. Instead of doing it by hand, this is going to rotisserie style polish the inside
of the exhaust tip. Now, we'll add a little bit of Light Metal Polish, which is basically
a Chemical Cleaner. If you have rust spots, you can use a more abrasive cleaner such as
Heavy Metal Polish. What Light Metal Polish is going to do is it's going to gently remove
any kind of surface stains or oxidation without using any abrasives. I'll just apply
some to the Ball Buster here. One line ought to be enough to get started. Now, we'll just
place it inside of the exhaust tip and kind of spread it out and then gently polish it
until we realize that we've got the stain removed and then we can wipe it off and check our work.
Well guys, there you have it.You can see that the Ball Buster did a great job
at removing any kind of staining easily and very quickly. This is a lot faster than doing
it by hand and it is a lot safer because now you are not putting your hand
inside of an exhaust tip where you could
cur yourself or get hand stuck in there because this conforms to any shape. it basically goes
to the back as far as your eye could see. You're removing any kind of that brown staining,
making it look its best. Also, this attaches to any kind of drill and it has the safety
sleeve so you are not blistering or burning your hand while it's actually rotating. Now,
the light metal polish is something that removes any kind of stains or oxidation (maybe light
rust) on anything that's chrome, stainless, polished, or anything that basically shiny
that you want to restore shine to. It also adds a protective layer to help enhance that shine
as long as possible. But , to protect it, and really bring out the gloss, we are going
to add a layer of JetSeal, which again, adds a protective layer of up to 12 months against
oxidation, water spots, carbon staining, or anything else that could can actually harm
the finish. I'm going to apply that and in the mean time, you guys could head over to
our website chemicalguys.com to check out these products for yourself. If you liked
these products or car or if you have any questions, be sure to drop a comment down below, like
this video. You guys get out there in the garage, detail your cars this weekend and
we will see you next time right here in the Detail Garage.
