Normans_Ghost Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I sandblasted my pipes and now they're a matt finish. But don't need cleaning.

JampJ Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Yes but you'll have hell of a job cleaning them when they do discolour, unless you blast again! Cheers John JFDI (Just F*****g Do It) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikesbike Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Hi, The product we use in the silver trade is called Hyfin made by canning (available on ebay)its actually used for polishing stainless steel, it has good cutting property that leaves a bright lustre without a final finishing product needing to be used. If you purchase the polishing outfit recommended earlier in the thread that will do the trick. The way we use Hyfin is a touch of paraffin (applied with a tooth brush)on the rotating 'mop' then the Hyfin then a touch of paraffin again and away you go.. Hope this helps!

Normans_Ghost Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 JohnJulie, They are not discolouring. They seem to stay matt and rough. But they do stain slightly with spilt oil. I must take aim with more care.
