    Looks amazing and a brilliant job buddy :)

    I would love to try it but my concern is....last bike when I tried taking the headers off, I snapped a thread :sob:. Then I had to drill and do a helicoil job and it worked. But the stress it game me........

    Have heard of this, but never got round to giving it a go. Looks like I will be doing now. Thanks for the heads up.

    Be very careful with this stuff. According to its ingredients list it contains 10% Hydrochloric Acid!!!

    It's the acid that does the job.

    Gave it a try yesterday. Got the black stuff for £1 from Home Bargains. Brought up the link pipe nice and quick, but it was only slightly discoloured. The collector box and exhaust was a lot more difficult. I spent a couple of hours applying it with a brush and leaving for 10minutes and still did not come up shiny.

    It works but not the miracle cure of black to shiny in 10 minutes, if seriously ingrained. Mine's getting there, but got fed up. Will do it everytime I wash the bike and eventually hope it gets them all shiny, we'll see.

    The left side of the bottom pipe was as brown as the middle! So it's better but couldn't shift the really bad bit to the right. Will keep trying.
