Well then it would Semialuminum polish right? Tongue

Their website says its good for just about any metal, including aluminum, chrome, stainless steel, copper... and “even plexiglas”

Anyone here in Ottawa with a British motorcycle in the 1960s was familiar with the Autosol paste. I still use it on the headers of my CB1100 EX when they are really grubby.

I spread a line of the paste down the front of the headers. Then use a cheap stretchy white sock wrapped twice around the header twice to polish the pipes. I bought a package of 10 pair of socks in Walmart for $10. Autosol takes a little elbow grease and turns the sock black, so nitrite gloves area good thought.

In a pinch, mufflers can be polished with Colgate toothpaste. I learned that in a surprise wash and shine contest at a motorcycle rally.

Can you use Autosol as tooth paste in case of an emergency ?

I have decided to call the dark coloring a feature.

It's that new "polychromatic stainless" finish. Maybe leave out the stainless part.

Quite right, Sir Robert. If Honda had wanted them to stay shiny, they’d be double-wall chrome. Right?

Yoshimura Stain Magic.....it really is magic. Cuts the elbow grease factor at least in half. Then hit briefly with the simchrome or autosol for the final polish.

I feel about double-wall chrome pipes the way Patton felt about pearl-handled revolvers. Wink
