looking good there mate .
Never really cleaned up the headers on me bike since I owned it.
So I had some spare timer over the weekend to do some polishing
Did some YouTubing on "how to" polish Titanium, and there's no real specific polish for it.
Just use the usual suspect metal polish.
So, after a trip to Bunning's I grabbed some of this stuff (the paste is better than the liquid).

Gave the headers a quick scrub with some prepsol (wax 'n' grease remover) and a scotch-brite pad

This lil beauty makes life a bit easier when polishing ... Pneumatic hand held buffer
You can get them from any automotive paint an panelbeating supplies shop (VG Auto, Girraween, etc)

cheers guys,
now to find a replacement buffing pad backing, as u see in the buff pic (drill looking thingy)
the yellowee bits deteriorated, as I've had this sitting in a sealed plastic box it came in, for over 12 yrs.

im happy with the results from using that stuff from bunnings, and the headers came out better than I thought. It's good enough for the rims too.
Don't really need to polish anything else. ... thanks for the heads up about that purpley stuff though.

An example of the Lustre you can bring up with ally. I wet n dried this with variois grades then a quick hit on the polish wheel and polish with purple. Truckies use it for their ally all over. Low elbow grease and great results
