I was fiddle farting around the garage today then I started wondering what to do about my dull almost bronze pipes on my banshee. I took the pipes off my quad and was seriously thinking about getting them jet hotted. The pipes used to be chrome but over time they just built up rust and looked almost bronze from discoloration.
I tried cleaning them up with mothers polish and all sorts of other things but nothing worked. then I saw it...LIME AWAY!!! works on lime, calcium and rust. I said what the hell.
It was unbelievable what ever it touched it cleaned, I couldbnt believe it, it even took off some of the blueing at the end of the pipes.
My pipes look good as new. I was wishing that I had a digital camera so I could show you the before and after pics. after I used the LIME AWAY I used never dull polish and they really shine.
I dont know if anyone has used this before but I just thought discovered a new thing and wanted to share it with everyone

 

DUDE ur my hero
rust on pipes tick me off

thx for tellin us

 

good advice. thanks[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Awesome. I have never tried that before. The Alba Slip On for the 400ex is supposed to never rust. So that would be good to prevent rust.

 

After I wrote this I called all my friends and told them about it. So far 3 of them have got back to me after trying it and were amazed. they told me to keep fiddle farting around in the garage, because there mey be a cure for the common cold in there too...

 

did u try scrubbing it with a brush with bristles....i have and it comes off? but mine isnt caked on there....since i wash it often...

 

I tried the brush method too, but it wouldnt take off the bronze color or some of the bueing.
I just found a way to make things easier. I would much rather take five minutes to clean my piped than take 30 minutes with a brush.
you know the old saying,
Work smarter not harder.

 

thank you for actually posting some useful information on here. Some people lost the meaning of these forums a long time ago.

 

hey thanx man i found some of that junk under the kutchin "the moms place" sink, took the rust right off my endcap.
