so I picked up a ceramic coated stock exhaust for my LtR the 08+ have a better stock header, so I got a black ceramic'd stock 08 exhaust. my Q is, is it supposed to have a burn in? it seemed like it was burning in and like steaming or smoking and I could definitely smell it.
another Q which I'm gonna search, but can never get a good answer. what's the easiest/fastest way to polish things, aluminum, stainless whatever. I've used the wadding polish, rubbing compounds and my drill with a polish wheel, my dremel with a polish wheel. and sometimes it's just like the metal doesn't wanna cooperate and others it does and I can't seem to figure it out. same brand matching wheels even lol. one comes out nice and gets done quick. then the other I try to repeat the process and I dunno if my wheel just needs to be clean or brand new or wtf but I'll sit there for what seems like alot longer and not get it as shiney as the previous one. currently, I polished my tip and it came out quick, but the heat shield is fighting me pretty good. I got a couple edges nice with the dremel as the tip I polished by hand and it was quick and painless.. the tip and shield are both stainless...
