The (only)upside to removable exhaust tips..

...is that you can machine polish them when you're really bored!

What used to be a 4in. white pad.

Those look awesome!

I need to pull mine off when it gets a little warmer but I'll probably use my bench-mounted buffing wheel to polish it. Did you anchor your tips down at all so they wouldn't try to get away from you while using the PC?

I used a ratcheting spreader in the slip joint, just barely enough pressure to hold on. Really need a bench vise.

Those look good! I use an old white or orange pad to polish by hand. Machine might make that easier!

Oh yeah!

I do the chrome bumpers and grill on the truck with a small pad on the PC, works a charm!

Pad destruction, though.

No hope of cleaning that pad? Is this something you'd use a pad that you no longer to use it for anything else for again?

[jlb85]

Nah, no way. If he used metal polish the black gooey residue is there to stay. I like to keep an old pad after its usable "paint worthy" life for these things and wheels and such.

Thanks, I appreciate it.
