How effective did you find the Autoglym Metal Polish? How long did you have to work it before you got the desired results on the exhaust pipes?

Do the Z-5500s make up part of your detailing kit?Bluebiggrin I'm still looking(and saving) for a set of those, best home theatre speakers for the money IMHO.

Thanks STaX!

The Autoglym Metal Polish was easier to work than I initially thought. First I gave the inside/outside of the pipes a good clean with APC and old rags (5 years of carbon build-up isn't pretty) and worked the polish for about 5 minutes on the outside of each pipe by wrapping a cloth around and using an up/down motion. I would probably still be polishing the inside if I didn't MacGyver the wool bonnet! Bluebiggrin

With the drill, it took about 10 minutes to clean the inside, including a finishing buff. I am considering changing the rear tips as you can now see the spot welds. Luckely they are held on with bolts and not welded to the silencers.

The Logitech's are excellent; I bought them about 4 years ago and still going strong. I agree with you, best out-of-the-box setup you can get for the money. I use them for my PC ... my neighbors hate me when I feel like some Call of Duty or F1! Rofl
