mine went gold w/ a new exhaust in about 2 weeks, 1 month tops maybe? after cleaning them when i originally posted, they are just starting to gold. they are degrading nowhere near as fast after using the english custom polish as they originally did.

 

The english custom polish is much better than any other product I tried for the RB exhaust. After 30k my cans were so gold there were almost brown and the tips were always a light gold no matter how much I polished them or what I used. Now the whole system is as bright silver as when I picked it up at SS7. Thanks for the tip (pun intended )

 

Just placed my order.
I have a new exhaust that arrives on Friday, and I'm going to be pro-active on the tips.

I still like mine GOLD!

 

the english custom polish is very good got my rb tips back from the gold. recomended

 

Good stuff. I noticed after I used it that it has also prolonged the "gold" effect from occuring.

 

I noticed that to.

I recommend applying it to new exhaust tips as they will not get as gold as if they weren't treated.

 

Question for anyone who has ordered this.
How long did it take you to get your order?

took me over 2 weeks to get mine.

 

You mean I have to be patient!!!

Oh well.

Thanks.

Yeah, when I ordered mine it was taking a while so I called them up and they had the product but were waiting for a shipement of "caps" for the bottles before they could send the shipment out.

Nice man I talked to on the phone but they're not the fastest company ever. Worth the wait though, especially with that pretty new exhaust of yours...

 

It took a while for mine also.

They sent me an email to let me know they were waiting for bottles.

Does anyone elses bottles leak?

I put teflon tape on the threads to solve this.

 

I don't think mine leaked... damn, now I need to check when I get home.

 

Easy to tell as it will leave a white line or whatever color it is down the side.

I noticed it the most when I was shaking it up...

 

No leak here. It did eat through my mechanic latex rubber gloves and skin though so be sure to wear some sturdy hand protection when applying.

 

Got it yesterday, just had to wait one more day before posting a question about how long it takes to arrive. :shrug:

Well, I laid down behind the car to start cleaning the tips, and I found that I may have a leak in my exhaust. Right where the center pipe and the muffler meet. I loosened the clamp, and moved it slightly closer to the muffler, and tightened it a little more than the specs call for.
Hope that takes care of it.

hope that fixes it. Hey, I still havent' seen pics of this new exhaust of yours...

 

People had trouble with the Turbo XS exhaust leaking also on the rear connection close to the bumper.

 

i use blue magic metal polish and it is a shiny as the day i got it.

 

I detail my car every Sunday. Will I need to polish my tips every week as well or can I do this like once a month or when I wax the car?

 

I polished my tips w/ this stuff back in the beginning of March '06 and haven't really had to touch them since. They are getting a little bit gold, but only barely so. They still have plenty of silver shine. Before polishing with this stuff, the tips went gold/blue in about 2 months. So the protection does work.

So I think polishing maybe half a year or less should do the trick. I am going to polish mine again sometime before winter (and this time get the bottom of the cans as well), probably in a month or two.

 

Mine turned gold in about 30mins of driving.
It's been over 2 weeks since I polished them, and they are still nice and shiney silver.

 

It only takes about 2 minutes per side after the first time deep cleaning. Easy on / easy off. You definately won't need to do it every week, but it's no big deal if you want to.

 

OK, that's it! I'm ordering some of this stuff.

 

Does anyone know why the tips turn gold? The OEM ones never did.
