How long did that take you?

My pipes are totally filthy. Caked with burnt on road grime from riding in the rain.

I kind of like the bluing. My Kawi blued up quite a bit.

Didn't take too long. I probly coulda spent a little more time wet sanding. And I did 3 rounds, maybe 4, of the polish. Probly took about an hour or so.

And I use Mother's Billet Polish. Best shit around.

zoop is for after u polish un coated metal-not chrome, chromes a coating. zoop seals the metal, so u have to polish it way less, somethin like that

if you ceramic the inside, supposedly it wont blue

I'll stick with the Billet. It's never done me wrong...but it is expensive.

Here's a link to a guy that ceramic coated the headers on his 1125R.
Scroll down 10 posts or so for a pic.

I'll look around, there was someone that polished theirs too, seems that they stayed shiney for awhile, even with some blueing.
