    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Have not tried it on exhaust pipes, but have modest success using aluminum foil as a polishing rag. :eek:

The tongue on my trailer is chrome and tends to get some rust over the winter. Every spring I rub it with some aluminum foil, wash it down, then spray some clear polyurethane on it to seal it for the summer. Seems to do quite well.

neverdull or flitz does this quite well for this. you can get them at autozone or any farm and fleet. also brasso (at kmart/walmart) works good, thats what we used in the marine corps to clean our weapons and it never ruined the bluing or any plated pieces. cliff
