I actually don't have any wax on it right now... Hit the whole thing with some Meguiar's compound on my orbital. Then a good Meguiar's polish on top. Both from their consumer line, available at WalMart.

Never seen OFF! used like that!

Yep, works great...my headlights look like New....with just hand buffin.

A customer came in today to have his Ford Racing exhaust swapped for a more mellow Magnaflow system. I inquired about purchasing the Ford Racing exhaust- he said sure, $75. Heck, now that's a deal.

Just gotta weld em in - they sound awesome. 3 1/2" stainless tips included.

A picture better suffice until I get them mounted. But to add suspense, I will post said picture in a few minutes.

Usually the case, but I will need to bend some pipe - don't have a pipe bender in the shop.
