Turned out great! Sorry I couldn't make it out the other day, just been busy with work. Good thing is that there is room again in the warehouse to work on the cars.

Hopefully that means you sold a lot of furniture!!! BTW, the covers are great.

I might need the warehouse in the next couple months...gonna have to go under the knife a little to get ready for homecoming!

It should be possible. Even just a little elbow grease, rubbing compound and metal polish should restore the shine. Are you wanting to remove the burnt finish?

Not too worried about keeping the burnt look...
The canister and tips are just starting to look yellowish and just dirty.

I have tried metal polish and even the foamy tar/bug remover and it did not produce any fantastic results IMO

I have 3M rubbing compound, and Griots Metal Polish. It would work best if you removed the exhaust from the car, take it inside where its nice and cool, and use power tools!!!

If you need specifics, let me know...
