Usually for basic cleaning I'll only polish the tips, and depending on how tired I am, I may/may not clean the cans. Since they aren't usually really dirty...
If I'm going to a show though I make sure to knock those out. For any piping in front of them, they're barely visible and not worth the hassle of lifting the car to access. |
Yeah, i'm just so picky about my car. and I used to actually polish aluminum and SS for people, motorcycle wheels, frames, old car intakes, etc etc... it takes A LOT of work though, especially when you have to cut casting down. The cans and such are beautiful obviously, and most would never notice... you can just see BARELY in the halogen lights I use for detailing that the pipes have just a slight hint of scratches from the buffing process. Once you get to a point of polishing though... ANYTHING will scratch it... even just touching it with your finger.
