It really does look great. But you lost me at "about an hour." I'm so pathetic.

It would appear it's only available for distribution in the US.
I'll send them an email and see what happens.
You might want to check the price on Amazon.com first. I was stunned by the cost of that little tube. Then we Canucks have to add 28% currency exchange to the product and shipping costs, and another 13% sales taxes on top of that.

Thanks for that.
I have found out they do ship to Canada, but as you said, those extra costs are giving me second thoughts.

Looks great. I use SemiChrome and the pipes come out great. This is pretty labor intensive and usually takes about 1 hr of effort using the polishing paste and 0000 steel wool. Problem is that as soon as you heat cycle the bike a few times the sporting or leopard spots will return. I even tried using some Shark Hyde metal protectant on my pipes one time after cleaning them and thought I had a permanent solution but the heat was too intense and the coating burns off. Best solution I have found is to clean the pipes and then wipe them down with WD40 after each ride. The pipes will turn a nice golden brown but will not spot and discolor. Good luck with it.

I can understand that. At the moment my headers are covered in mud. When I wash that off, in a day or two, they will possibly, no, certainly, look good enough for me to leave them "au natural".
