Picking up a stainless manifold for my other car tomorrow, is there any way of cleaning them up easily so they're shiney again?

Those little sanding sponges will do it with a little elbow grease.

I'm sure theres a electro process for cleaning stainless...might be worth ago. Contact some plating companies for info On 19th Jan, 2010 wil_h said:

As Andy said, I found Autosol and a bit of rag works well, if you use a longer bit and "saw" it, then it works very well for little effort, but the rag does stretch and so need renewing quite often. |

I'm lasey. For round things, I mount them in the pillar drill and just hold the rag against it. You can even have a beer at the same time. Proper man's multitasking. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

If your lazy just cover in the pickling paste, leave for 20mins and jetwash it all off, save your wrists for better things. |

Pickling paste will not give it the mirror finish like nick wants, It takes the top layer off, it needs to be polished. Audi s4 b5 - 470bhp & 486ft lbs
