Default 3 years on...

Hi,

With the recent refurbing of my wheels, i've been meaning to tackle the exhaust again. It was almost 3 years ago that i bought my S8 backbox from A8 Parts and although i got quite a good bit of traction when i cleaned it up, it still wasn't as good as i wanted it to be.

This weekend was the weekend to have another go and this time i used a few new toys...

Power drill
800 grit sandpaper on a wheel
Polishing mop with polishing soap bar (this stuff is amazing!)

Overall, quite pleased with the results and i've gotten the mirror finish that i've always wanted - although it did take about 2 1/2 hrs

Anyway, thought i'd share some of the results...
