My Scorpion Ti can has a couple of polished areas from the hanger bracket rubber as it was fitted to my EXUP before the RSV. A polisher mate reckoned a gentle going over with a Scotchbrite pad would sort it but I haven't had a chance to do it yet.

plenty of autosol. A final wipe down with WD40 and they'll be like new

ti forms a protective film over itself once open to the elements thats why its used in the petro chemical industry
at work we use stainless pickling paste (acid) but it goes brown at 1st wash it off and comes up clean , but if you dont get an even coat on you will end up with it being streaky like water stains.
or have it glass bead blasted

Hmmm! now where did I put my glass bead blaster? :confused
Of course, must be in the shed next to my stainless pickling paste! :exclamation
Think scotchbrite or Autosol might be a more diy approach. :nana

I dont think you would want to bead blast Ti exhaust can sleeves. Being made from titanium they are very thin and easy to dent/damage.

Exactly LEGS, I found if you use scotchbrite it changes the texture of the finish and you have to do the whole muffler t make it look right :biggrin
