Exhaust Heat Shield Polish

Tired of your heat shield looking like you found it at a junk yard?
Well now you don't have to spend big bucks to get a trick looking mofo covering your naked pipes!

Pretty darn simple:
Takes about 1 hr if your unlucky with the paint (like myself)
Need:
3 sets of rubber gloves (ideal)
wd-40
Paper towels
12mm socket and wrench
At LEAST 2 brilliow pads as I caked both up but that's all I had!
Optional:
A tricked out bamboo toss out to work on
A couple brewskies
A sexy campanion to keep you company

Looks great now and really helps pull together a nice clean not over done look. Glad I took the time to do it!

That do look nice. I might give that a shot, just to hold me over until I get one of the ARCs. Good job.

Thanks.
I'm not starting to get into the messy kinda works rather than just a rebuild/bolt on guy.
Mod was free and now i'm not as embarresed to show my stockish engine bay minus bov and intake because at least its clean.

i sanded clean and re-did in a high temp flat black and still looks good 2 yrs later

i probably would have "chromed" it lol
