I decided to clean the very dirty brown exhaust headers on my M900ie this weekend and they have gone from hideous to fabulous in a couple of hours, I bought a few bits in order to mechanize the manual labor. I used a red scotchbrite flap wheel on my angle grinder, this really made short work of 95% of the crud, I then used the tired flap wheel with some Solvol. To finish off I used a cloth wheel with Solvol on a battery drill. The results for the invested time were amazing. I also managed to swap out a badly rusted exhaust stud, this one had a nasty "waist" corroded right near the head, I had procrastinated as to if I should risk trying to extract it and risk a "snap off" and all the hassle that goes with it. Imagine my surprise when it came out without incident :-) I gave the ends of my Termi's a quick cleanup too. I popped in to see my dad at lunchtime with a view to cleaning up the exhaust clamp flanges in his bench mounted wire brush as these were looking a bit sorry too, he offered to clean and paint them for me - result
