Not sure if these are stainless or chrome plated? However, I cant get them polished up any better than this:

Will they have some sort of lacquer on them? Have wet sanded them with 2500 grit but not sure if I should start with a lower grade first!

Help!

Edit: Flash makes them look allot worse!

Most likely chrome plated. Can get them re-chromed easily enough.

You'll never get those perfect though.

I just polished my tailpipes, i wet sanded with 2000grit and then just used metal polish and they come up lovely.

I reckon the AMG ones are probably coated/chromed and you are just taking the coating off.

Paint them black imo Seen it done.

Put the bumper back on it last night and the exhausts don't stick out anywhere near as much as I remember, so they'll be fine!

I did the opposite of this and used autosol on my bumhole - came up lovely.
