Foshizl, yu should keep your sig to five lines. Not to be testy or nothing but a moderator will soon tell you the same.

If I were you I would go ahead and coat them while they are off after you clean them too.

mothers makes a good metal polish too. i think you can wax after you polish and that should help keep them clean and easyer to clean too.

I always use simple Green to clean my exahust/engine and all that metal stuff. Does a pretty good job of it too. As for the rust, I guess you could sand it off, but it'll just come back worse. As long as it is just light rust, I wouldn't worry about it, keep it from spreading.

I seem to be the odd man out but I HATE never dull(sp). I bought it and used it on the polished Vortech elbow and it SCRATCHED THE H3LL OUT OF IT.
It has tiny pieces of something that put dozens of fines scratches in the elbow with only a few rubs. I switched to Wenol and personally I don't think that they even compare.
Anyone else have similar problems w/ it?

If someone wants the almost new container of Never dull that I have you're MORE than welcome to pick it up if you are near Rading, PA. I am too cheap to throw it away even after what it did to the elbow.
