Detailed Description
If the exhaust stacks are in real bad shape or have never been polished before follow these steps: Lightly wet sand with 400 grit sandpaper. Lightly wet sand with 600 grit sandpaper. Lightly wet sand with 800 grit sandpaper. Lightly wet sand with 1000 grit sandpaper. Polish with buffer wheel using Mothers Polish. Finish stacks to remove all black with regular household flour. Expect 8 plus hours to do this the first time. Once they are completed they can be just polished with the Mothers and flour in 30 to 40 minutes. They will be brightly polished at first. They will turn a golden color once they are heated a few times.
