Had one of those sand paper blocks which just fitted inside. You then keep turning it until all shiney.... And then you have shiney pipes

      Result

            I used WD40 and a rough pad (think theyre called scouring pads for cleaning pots), to do the outside, and wire wool for the inside.

            Look like Andys :-D

                    Not sure about scouring pad as that will sratch...unless you use nylon, but don't think that will be abrasive enough.

                    A chrome cutting polish is what you want...comes in a tube like tooth paste....but you will need to work at it.

                          Yes Autoglym is good but you should find lots at Halfords or the like.

                            I was very careful of this and I didnt scratch the outside in the slightest.

                            I used this (the green side)

                              Cheers guys, will go on a mission to halfords tommorow for that polish, think ive seen some there before. Pretty sure we have one of the above sponge things too.

                              Thanks
