I highly recommend it, since it is the ONE (not the only) thing in the car that makes me enjoy it so much - it needs all the TLC it (they?) can get. Not sure it would work on the Nitinol (Nickel titanium) ones though...

Love the BRG - the only "caddish" color out there...

I would go with ScratchX or some other polishing compound.

Thanks, that is kinda crazy. Might try it on my old car I'm about to junk... (Not the C43, my older old car... 88 Acura Legend )

It doesn't work. It will hide it temporarily, but will eventually burn through the clear coat.

If you have a motorcycle as well, spraying your down pipes with wd40 after a ride is similarly satisfying...
