I like using Never Dull. It seems to even out the surface a bit - and really gets a lot of the grime off. Then what I do (and I know this sounds weird) but I take my Mother's Power Ball and cordless drill and a bucket of hot water, and just go crazy on those pipes. Gets 'em looking almost like chrome with no harm whatsoever. Water, pressure, and friction - three of the most powerful forces in nature - after a big block anyway.

Part of my problem though is the pipes are dull because the previous owner had painted over the ceramic coating. I agree that if the coating just needed buffing, then I could do that, but the paint won't allow it. I can clean them up and they look decent and I can go with them for now. I just thought it would be good to have some home grown vendors that could posiblly coat my side pipes and that future builders could possibly use as well. Kind of like Murrill in Washington for painting cars. Had to start somewhere.

I agree Dan about having a local source. I wasn't wanting to send my pipes off either. Thanks for checking and getting pricing.

I have contacted this company to see if they would be interested in a group discount or even interested in doing. On their Photo's page, they have done a Jag's exhaust headers.
