    Thanks for this video. I used 400, 600, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000n and Blue Magic metal polish, and my 2019 Kawasaki Versys 1000 SE LT's exhaust and heads is back to brand new again. Before I started the bike up, I used isopropyl alcohol and wiped everything down to remove all oil and polish from the heads and exhaust. It's like I have a brand new exhaust, and the headers are catching my eyes again. 🥰 It took me 4 hours to do it, because I made sure to sand everything once, so I don't have to do this for another couple of years, hopefully.

    I would have stopped after the 1200 sand paper... looks better with a brushed aluminum look than mirror finish imo

      Yeap you could leave it on 1200,i was thinking the same but i just wanted to see how shiny i could get them 🤣

    awesome result!!, anyway my question is, will this process damage the header in the long run? some said using different method like using harpic 10x would remove the chrome. in short the headers will corrode easy and short lived (if its true though). and by the way, is that just a clean water? or water with soap?

      Tnx mate,I don't know exactly but for sure one day proces,it is time consuming all that sanding.
      If the time is problem for you and your headers are not in very bad shape a have another video on my channel, it is very fast and if done right the results are awsome.

      Shine will last long time, but color of the pipies will change very fast after one ride will start to go a little yellow but that is normal due to heat cycles of the engine.
      On my headers the first bend get a blue and puprle color.
