Thank You All For Talking Me Into It!

And I'll bet your fuel mileage is up 15%, with at least another 6-8 HP at the rear wheel!

Ok I'm convinced

Just ordered it from Amazon.

My cb11 has less than 100 miles but the pipes are golden/headed to brown, I suspect due to 85 to 90 degree weather I've been riding in.

Color me impressed!

I just got around to cleaning mine...

Before:

...and after:

I do have some darker splotches that I had to work on with a bit of Simichrome polish, but the last time I tried to clean those splotches, it hardly made a difference. I think the Optiglanz also helped to soften those stains such that the Polish got much of them out. We'll worth the $28 and about an hour of time.

I just used the product today with great results. Had to use Bartenders friend for some darker spot but they came off quick.

Noticed the a slight golding on the upper portion of the pipe after a small ride...but looks much better than before.

Try putting car wax on the pipes after cleaning them. It seems to keep the bronze tint at bay for quite a long time.
