[TR] Cleaning Stainless Steel

[cfmtr3a at verizon.net]

I would start with the cleaning as Dave suggests.  But I would probably test which grade w/d to start with on a hidden spot. 1000 grit or even higher might do the job with less abrasiveness.    Real fine grade steel wool is another option.

I am a bit of a clean freak.  I have a  Bell stock stainless steel exhaust system on my 72 TR6 installed in 2006.  I would like to cleanup the visible pipes, anyone on the list have any advice on cleaning stainless steel?  Anyone worked with any cleaning products?



I would first clean off any oil or grease with a good detergent.  What is left is backed on carbon and corrosion.  That I take off with #400 wet/dry sandpaper.  Depending on how shiny you want you can clean up with #600 and #1000 grit w/d sandpaper after that.
