[@richardtaylor3047]

You can't beat a before and after vid,even the crow was amazed!thanks for the advice pal

[@tantalus1394]

I did not expect it to come out that good. Very nice job sir!

[@ro63rto]

To save some time, use 0000 wire wool to apply and agitate the Harpic. Gets rid of the uneven bits so polishing later is easier.

[@arnaudtromas9813]

Well nice job!

[@chrislewis5769]

Great video results look amazing. Do you think I could use this still on titanium headers?

[@motorcyclerefurbishment8162]

Harpic, I'll give that a go........Thanks...roy

[@TwinMax-TDM]

Good job, you had to think about the Harpic cleaner ;)

[@YammyXJ600]

Thanks, the Harpic stuff really works well, maybe if id left it on for a bit longer it would have removed even more tarnish

[@Caledonia3104]

[@cruiserjohn74]

Would have used steel wool 0000 with the polish.(finest steel wool 0000)
Thanks for sharing the video

[@KrisBiker]

Wow! The end effect! I think I was too lasy to paint mine....

[@YammyXJ600]

Thanks KrisBiker, i thought about painting mine too, but because it was stainless i decided to polish it instead, looks great doesn't it

[@andyblackburn2068]

Come round do mine!
I'll buy the harpic and polish

[@erbwarrior2097]

Looks really nice, but harpic has hydrochloric acid which is really bad for stainless steel it may dissolve the layer that protects it from rust.

[@martincuttsey]

Erbz stainless is stainless all the way through. no special layer.

[@erbwarrior2097]

Stainless isnt just dug out of the ground as stainless ore it is a combination of minerals, the Hydrochloric acid could strip away the chromium that protects it, the lower the grade of stainless the higher the risk. Just saying for people to be careful thats all, the results look great in the video.

[@martincuttsey]

you are talking to someone who has worked in the steel trade for many years. I know very well what stainless is and all the different grades and he isnt doing any damage.

[@YammyXJ600]

I polish the stainless often so it keeps its shine, it will last 3 to 4 weeks before it starts to dull slightly

[@YammyXJ600]

Thats right, we've been doing it for years without any problems at all, thanks for your comments
