Cross posted from my W114 coupe rebuild thread, but a really nice product for bringing up an exhaust manifold.
Today's job was cleaning up the exhaust manifold and downpipe. ss201 had recommended Calyx manifold treatment in another thread, so I ordered some and picked up the necessary cheap toothbrushes to apply it this morning.
Slightly rusty manifold and more rusty downpipe (don't clean something then leave it out in the rain).
Detail
Brush the rust off, clean off residue and dirt, then apply with toothbrush and rag to polish.
Close up
A couple of spots missed but the effect is excellent, downpipe has come up well too. No idea on longevity but it's a nice finish on what would otherwise be a slightly tatty look. Easy to apply and work too.
