recived a "new" japspeed exhaust for a memebber which is spot on. there are however afew surface spots of rust popped up like speckles. i did start to autosol them and it started to come up ok.... anyone know a more productive method for this sort of work?

Yep, get yourself a polishing kit from Halfords, about £15 and use the sisal mop head on a drill with the brown bar first, will come up a treat.

awesome i wa thinking along taht line actually mate. just didnt knw where the hell to get one. il pick one up tomorrow need some psf anyways.

I bought my first kit from Halfords, then started building up bits of ebay, just type in metal polishing and you can get some good deals on polishing wheels and bars etc. you get the polishing bug pretty soon after you start lol

ive done a bit before used to work for a stainless fabrication workshop welding polishing etc. just not very good at it lol

It can be time consuming and monotonous lol, but you probably know that already.

I thought their stuff was stainless :oops:

stainless steel means 'stains less', not actually 'stainless' as most people think... I used a brillo pad then some cymbal polish on mine, looks lovely :)

it is its 304 grade i believe you would need 316 to truly fend off the rust bug. and even then over time some oxidation would occur. if it contains iron it will rust eventually

:thumbup1:

304 will rust and the welding will rust before the boxes.

yup esp if its a poor weld that has become porus and has become containated. its all to do with the shroud of the welding torch and the gass setting. the quality of the rod loads of things. i saw a very expensive piece of stainless the other day with shit welds that are rusting a few months after placement. :( poor quality job in general tbf(not the exhaust the handrail i was looking at)
