Wow unbelievable! Harpic sales about to go up !

 

Yep, I believe Harpic is pretty good at reducing splattering

 

If it's that good it's probably best to mind your hands as well!

 

Looks amazing and a brilliant job buddy

I would love to try it but my concern is....last bike when I tried taking the headers off, I snapped a thread . Then I had to drill and do a helicoil job and it worked. But the stress it game me........

 

I concur. Did my S3 headers and exhaust a couple of months ago. Here's the before and after pic...

 

Have heard of this, but never got round to giving it a go. Looks like I will be doing now. Thanks for the heads up.

 

Now I’ve got the preds off I think I might give the down pipes a go, I’ll give you before and afters

 

Yes, it's something I was recommended a couple of years back by a pal who saw it on a youtube video. Works a treat.

 

I tried this, but didn't work!

 

Be very careful with this stuff. According to its ingredients list it contains 10% Hydrochloric Acid!!!

 

It's the acid that does the job.

 

We?

 

Bet your bike smells fresh though!

 

And another thread goes down the pan

 

Gave it a try yesterday. Got the black stuff for £1 from Home Bargains. Brought up the link pipe nice and quick, but it was only slightly discoloured. The collector box and exhaust was a lot more difficult. I spent a couple of hours applying it with a brush and leaving for 10minutes and still did not come up shiny.

It works but not the miracle cure of black to shiny in 10 minutes, if seriously ingrained. Mine's getting there, but got fed up. Will do it everytime I wash the bike and eventually hope it gets them all shiny, we'll see.

 

The left side of the bottom pipe was as brown as the middle! So it's better but couldn't shift the really bad bit to the right. Will keep trying.
