When I got my 2006 Monte, After about a month I started to notice some rust type stains/colouration on my supposedly stainless steel mufflers. From behind this looked Horrible!!!! So I set out with some Mothers "Polish in a can" tear away polish pad and man did it make a difference. You can also use this stuff on any metal lines under the hood, it REALLY brings the stuff to a mirror shine... I then clear coated it with high temp paint to seal in the shine!

the Weld is most likely rusting, any contamination during the welding process and te will even of its Stainless Steel

Wow that looks great! I KINDA Like nevr-dull (however you spell it) but Mother's PowerMetal is a superior product, so I would assume the Mother's polish pads are better.

I bet it was a pain polishing that much under the car like that...although you do have an amazing garage so I bet you probably had some comfy support under there.

actually, ive been using other mother's stuff to polish my wheels. i like using nevr-dull (i think that is how you spell it) on chrome and certain things especially when there's a little surface rust. it is time for some new stuff though, so i think ill try out the powermetal since its time to repolish my valve cover and plenum.
