I have had my ARC heat shield for 2yrs now and it has water stains on it that just WILL NOT get off.. So i was curious on what product does everyone use to clean there polished pipes or mirror heat shields from water spots or any dull colors.. My injen pipes are stained as well but im not sure how to handle this. Any info?

 

I would think a polish compound would get it off..... no experience though.

 

I have the Tomei Expreme mani and shield..I just use a little wax, and they come right out.

^^ Ill Try It.

 

turtlewax bug and tar remover, or some type of rubbing compound

 

I would say a polishing compound as well.... Another thought would be some type of wheel cleaner, something with a +pH level.

 

I use brasso and it works pretty good.

 

Mothers.

 

Mothers......? They make quite a few different products. Which one are you referring to?

 

My bad. The polish that adheres to which ever metal your heat shield is made of!

 

I've actually removed water spots with heat and then polishing on my aluminum intake manifold but IDK if it'll work on steel. I'd contact a detailing shop and see if they could recommend a product to remove water etchings.

 

I went to autozone and got a polisher that left me with my with open after i wiped it off. My ARC Heat Shield looks like BRAND NEW . It is just fricken amazing. Im too lazy to go into my car and tell you guys the product right now.. lol. But its a little can that looks like a Vick's Vapor Rub bottle. It is simply amazing. I did my injen pipes and those are just beautiful now.

 

just use brasso... trust me on this,,, i work with s/steel stuff.. so i know.. ;D

 

hope brasso did the job for you..

 

I fully back Brasso too. Stuff worked wonders on my old golf clubs (off topic?)...they had A LOT of crap staining them. Brasso made them like new.
