polished headers?

[swiftb]

thought id drop this here as those who read in here are most likely to have done this.
How well do headers/downpipes polish up? Ive been looking for bikes and seeing a lot with dull mucky/rusty headers which being a right anal fecker puts me off. My headers are very shiny

Any pics of a before after clean up you have done??

No pics, but the easiest way is wire wool then a polish with Autosol. I managed to.get a mirror finish on my cb400 sf.

Hope that's of some use?

mine are getting there, they were dull and tarnished like the section next to the head, this is about an hour with a rag and autosol

Im actually trying to de-chrome my bike now, apart from the headers. I think the chrome accessories look about 15 years out of date, which would make sense, as the bike is about 15 years old!

When i got the bike it came with loads of chrome tat, most of which is in the bin now.
