i get the sos pad damp b4 i use it. then after i use the sos pad i wipe it off with a damp cloth. then if i really want it lookin nice i'll use chrome polish but the sos pad alone gets the rust off and makes it look nice.

A really good chrome polish will remove rust or tarnish on your pipe.

Chrome would look better anyway!
I didnt really care what color mine was, I just didnt want a rusty color lol

After I rode the paint "baked" onto the pipe. It was smoking and sweating. I didnt know if it was ruined, but it came out OK.
