add water + sand paper Generally, a very STEADY stream of water or you may burn whatever you sand.

Knowing him he's probably finishing the other one up and taking my exhausts for a spin to see how they sound.. You know some quality testing to make sure everything is working properly..

Now, a nice coating of Ferro 90+ gloss of clear C156C105A (which I have), and that look will be sealed in for life.

Carl: check Killers post, latest mods. Looks like rotors might be next for me to PC.

BTW. Allstate caved. They will pay for the dipshit who wiped out the left side of my CLS6.

A) look at the hangers and very back of the pipes
B) Inside of the pipes
C) Haze

I remind you that these were partially cleaned once.. This is the final go over.. Perfection comes into play here..

Smitty how exactly did you do it ... ? I'd like to clean mine up. Wet sand, scrub with wire brush, and polish?
