Discolored pipes
#2
If it is anything like Autosol Metal Polish, then is it very effective provided you invest the time and effort required with typical paste polishes...they will return your pipes to an original silvery lustre, but only briefly...your CB's stainless steel headers will just start to "bronze" the next time you use your bike.

I prefer something quicker and easier like Optiglanz since it is a losing proposition to keep the CB's headers "silvery".

It is more expensive, but you only need a little. I apply a small amount to a scouring pad and apply it directly to the pipes...that way there is no waste or overspray. 3 minutes work and you are done! The last time I used Autosol on my pipes it took a good 40 minutes or more to get the same results...and, as I wrote earlier...they will just start "bronzing" again with your next ride...
