If you don't have a polishing cone - and it's not the sort of thing I'd bother spending on - then save your old socks.

One for putting on and one for polishing off - you can also hold the ends and get right in-between the exhaust tip and bodywork for a good polish.

..a further advantage is you can have a hand puppet show at the same time :D

I'm trying hard not to believe that I get even better noises when I have a dirty end though.

Polishing cones are like £3....Not exactly a bank breaker for a dedicated piece of reusable kit.

Cheaper than socks... :lol: :lol: :lol:

On my V8 - with the Inconel exhaust pipes, I use metal car polish.
Works very well with some elbow grease and comes out a mirror finish !

That really made me chuckle :-)

I wonder if the wifee will notice if I nick one of her socks and try to sneak it back into her drawer when I'm done ;-)

So I steal two, wear one, and use the other for polishing... Just so I've got it correct?

If you're wearing one maybe a stocking would give better visibility! ;)
