Brasso for all your exhaust polishing needs! Oh yeah!

Just wanted to pass this along...if some of you aren't familiar with Brasso, it's the nastiest smelling, runniest, and best polishing compound for metal I've seen in awhile. I spent maybe about 3 minutes on my exhaust tonight, a roll of Bounty and Brasso, and brought it from dull opaque looking to what I've attached below. You can get Brasso at Home Depot or any place like that...and in a lot of grocery stores (I got mine at the big Texas chain of grocery stores, HEB). This stuff takes anything off...anything. It eats those carbon deposits like acid too. I didn't even finish polishing and look below...

Yeah actually that pic above is before I even finished polishing it...the other pictures didn't come out well because I did it at 11PM. I want to either polish or paint those pipes believe me...that'll be next

I have to wait until the weather gets warmer. Too cold and I am too lazy to crawl underneath there to clean.

Long story short, I got hosed my friend. The rear sway bar is in the mail. I returned the original from Lightning Motorsports to Neuspeed...and I was told by Dalton over there I would have a $10 fee, okay no big deal, and it would be taken off my credit card. So I wait a week, no bar, call them...and it turns out they couldn't charge my credit card for some reason or another (they didn't CALL to tell me this). On top of this they tell me, no you don't just pay the return fee...you pay $30 in shipping. Geez. I give them a new credit card number and hang up. Wait a week, call back. Turns out this time they didn't have my expiration date (although I told it to him and he repeated it back). Again, didn't actually CALL me to check on this. Finally I get that all squared away, call back in 2 days and he lies to me, telling me that he can't get in touch with Neuspeed today, but he did yesterday and everything's ready to go. I call them immediately, get their returns guy Danny, who's very nice. He says they haven't talked to him in 2 weeks. I call back Dalton, he says he's "calling right now", I resist the urge to give him the verbal finger, and hang up. The best part, I told Dalton I wanted it 2 day or he gets no more business from me...he says ok, and ships it UPS Ground. I get the tracking number from Danny at Neuspeed, 1ZE643720340166744. It's due here March 11, that's this coming Monday. I won't even be home until this coming Thursday. Yeah that tastes good, when Lightning Motorsports gives it to you in the !@$. Ugh...

Hey whatever you do, take pics of it after installation so we can see your before and after pics. I didn't have a digicam with me so I wasn't able to represent.
