How to Polish Motorcycle or Car Exhausts with the KIT 02 – DIAMETER 100 by Lux Metal
Over time, motorcycle and car exhausts lose their shine due to scratches, oxidation, and burnt residues. A polished exhaust not only enhances the vehicle’s appearance but also protects the metal from corrosion and rust.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to restore the original mirror finish of your exhausts using the KIT 02 – DIAMETER 100 by Lux Metal, a professional yet easy-to-use polishing set suitable for home use.
Why You Should Regularly Polish Exhausts
Exposure to heat, moisture, and road grime can cause:
-
Dull or discoloured surfaces
-
Surface oxidation and rust formation
-
Micro-scratches and loss of shine
Regular polishing helps maintain a clean, mirror-like appearance and creates a protective layer that slows down future oxidation.

Step-by-Step: How to Polish Exhausts with the KIT 02
1. Surface Preparation
Clean the exhaust thoroughly using a neutral metal cleaner and a soft cloth. Remove all grease and residues, then allow the surface to dry completely before starting.
2. Pre-Polishing (A Wheel + A Compound)
Attach the A Wheel to your drill and apply the A Compound.
Work evenly with circular movements to remove heavy oxidation and deep marks.
Avoid excessive pressure—let the wheel do the work.
3. Intermediate Polishing (B Wheel + B Compound)
Apply the B Compound to the B Wheel and polish the surface again.
This step removes micro-scratches and gives a smooth, uniform finish.
Wipe away any remaining residue with a clean cloth.
4. Mirror Finishing (C Wheel + C Compound)
Use the C Wheel with the C Compound for the final high-gloss stage.
This process removes the last imperfections and produces a true mirror finish, perfect for stainless or chrome exhausts.
Clean the surface with a soft dry cloth at the end.
Restoring Chrome or Oxidised Exhausts
If your exhaust shows signs of oxidation or rust on chrome surfaces, the C Wheel combined with the C Compound is especially effective for restoring the original shine without scratching.
For even more professional results, complement this with the Lux Metal Polishing Kit, suitable for all types of metal surfaces.
