pipe cleaner - coffee - 20-02-19
I'm thinking of buying a set of stainless pipes for my gen 2,mainly because I can't stop them staining no matter what I do,do you think the stainless ones will be any easier to keep clean ?

The standard ones on the gen 2 are stainless from the factory? The only after market ones avaliable are the 'race' ones that don't have the Cat

Brings them back to shiney silver in a matter of minutes

I've used that on my Tiger pipes, which turn brown as you look at them. Works a treat

someone told me they were stainless but I didn't take a lot of notice,the only reason I was thinking of these after market pipes were because I wanted stainless,for the cleaning side of things,I'll certainly try that harpic stuff and thanks,Phil. :thumbup

Yeah its really good stuff. Just give your pipes a quick wipe down with a damp cloth to get any dirt off then pour the Harpic into an old mug (or something) and use a paint brush to brush it directly onto the pipes. Leave for about 5 minutes then wash off with fresh water and you'll be amazed how good of a job it does. I use it all the back to the link pipe.
Probably best to wear gloves too as it can sting a tad if it comes into contact with bare skin :thumbup
Re: pipe cleaner - coffee - 22-02-19
Thanks to some cracking advice about cleaning my exhausts,I got some Harpic max 10 and set to with a green scourer ,I couldn't believe how this stuff worked! not only on the pipes but the collector box and back to the link pipe and I even cleaned up the suspension links which have always been a swine to clean,after about 15/20 mins and a further 15 with the autosol the pipes etc were clean as a whistle,and the Harpic was on special at a £1 a bottle,yes a foccin' pound and I hardly used any!wouldn't have known about it if I hadn't posted so thanks again. :thumbup :thumbup :thumbup
