Nobody Likes Rusty Pipes

As automotive enthusiasts, detailing is a skill that almost everyone should attempt to attain asking as they call themselves “car guys” (or car girls). Aside from cleaning other people’s cars for money, these skills allow you access to things you never would have imagined. Enter craigslist; Craigslist is stocked full of a ton of random gems deemed trash that really only need a lil TLC, a lil bit of the old elbow grease. We picked up these two Magnaflow pipes on CL for an insultingly low price because they were old and ugly after normal wear. Today were going to show you how to take these old Magnaflow pipes and make em shine like new because nobody likes rusty pipes.

We grabbed a bottle of CG Window Clean to wet and lubricate the surface, then got some steel wool and went to work!

Once the surface contaminants were worked off of the pipe with the steel wool, its time for the shine!
