You polish your C/B, I polish my Headers.

all of you asking how this is done:

Go the the hardware store and buy some 200, 400, 800, 1000, 2000 grit wet sand paper and start rubbin!!! You will have to do it in stages, and then once done polish with some type of metal polish (e.g. Mothers). Search 04Sleeper, as he has one of the best looking cat backs on here.

Or if you degrease your catback and it is not full of road grime, you can just use the polish part and you will get a similar result. I will tell you that you won't have a mirror finish going this route, but it is good enough for most people.

I've got some good sealant/protectant that prevents tarnish and discoloring.

what are you using to protect them?

im interested in something for my C/B

I didn't use any sand paper, I used a floor mount 6" grinder with a buffing wheel mounted on it. Tried this polish called Mibro #6, got it at Lowe's Home Improvement. It comes in a stick. Turn the buffer on and hit the buffing wheel with the polish then put the part against the buffing wheel, it will build heat into the metal then I would just stick the polish stick on the metal and let it melt onto the part. Then just buff away. It takes time, a lot of time. I'm doing a cat-back. I'll post some pic of it up soon.

I was refering to the guy who said how do you do this "I want to do my catback".

Must be nice having a buffing wheel, mine is my right shoulder......

The Mibro #6 is the polish. Can't think of the name of the sealant right now as i'm not near it.
