Title: Blue Job Review Post by Denise on 05/25/12 at 11:22:06 So, after installing my new muffler I took the bike for a mile ride and the muffler turned gold imediately , obviosly my jetting was very lean , now that I rejetted ( Thanks Lancer) I decided to try to get rid of the gold and at least some of the blueing on the header. Blue Job has alot of product demo's online which I watched and decided to give it a try , kinda blows your mind to pay $14 for 14 grams of white powder ( non narcotic) but the gold muffler really bummed me so I ordered it. I can tell you that this stuff works "SORT OF" , it does improve the looks of the pipe but does not really remove the blueing, the gold on the muffler is still visable as well, this is after 3 hours of rubbing, when first applied it seems to have a chemical reaction as you rub but that soon stops untill more is applied, As stated by the guy in the video demo's " I use alot" , problem is you dont get much for your money and I believe the guy is pretty good at picking parts which clean up easily. If you really want to improve the looks of your exaust this product will do that, be prepared to Rub and Rub and RUB HARD !! My opinion is the product way too expencive and I have to wonder if I had rubbed that long and hard with " Comet" might I have achieved the same result. I will update this as to wether this is a lasting result , others who have used this product may also want to add some imput.

Title: Re: Blue Job Review Post by Dave on 05/26/12 at 03:41:47 My trials motorcycle and dual sport motorcycle both have stainless pipes. They also turn a funny color after having been ridden for a while - I believe it is more brown/yellow than blue. I tried the Blue Job on them, and it did work very slowly. Since it was stainless and I could not rub through.....and I could buff out any scratches......I used some ultra-fine steel wool with the Blue Job. It worked much faster and did a great job. I wonder if fine steel wool could be used on chrome without scratching it? Don't use Scotch Brite on Chrome, I saw a banjo tailpiece that a woman cleaned with Scotch Bright.....and it was scratched badly. |

Title: Re: Blue Job Review Post by justin_o_guy2 on 05/26/12 at 04:20:13 A brass brush wont scratch chrome, steel will, & yea, so will a plastic scotch brite pad. I pulled the core out of a piece of parachute cord & used the empty part on the spokes, with some chrome polish,, worked great,,mite work on a muffler, |

Title: Re: Blue Job Review Post by Dave on 06/12/12 at 10:12:36 I was cleaning the blue off a chrome Supertrapp and having mediocre success with the BlueJob......lots of rubbing and not much results. I had the muffler on a piece of carpet on the floor and was kneeling down with the muffler between my legs. I started to use the heel of my palm instead of my fingers, and I pushed really hard and rubbed with a mixture of BlueJob and water that was damp - but not wet. I rubbed very hard and quickly and could feel my palm getting warm, and as I continued to rub the blue went away pretty quickly. I am in pretty good shape and I would not have been able to put this much pressure on the pipe if it had not been on the floor between my knees. It seems that a lot of pressure and the results come much faster - but it would be nearly impossible to rub this hard with the part still on the bike. |

Title: Re: Blue Job Review Post by Cookie1247 on 06/12/12 at 10:49:32 :PI would stay away from Comet. Too abrasive and it contains bleach which can oxidize stainless steel. Another rider recently posted use of aluminum foil. Just rub the discolored spots with aluminum foil. It should improve the appearance. |

Title: Re: Blue Job Review Post by Denise on 06/12/12 at 10:54:11 The aluminum foil worked great to get the rust off but didnt touch discoloration, I'm with Dave, lots of pressure to the point of getting heat and the Blue job works, its been a couple weeks since I first posted this and the pipe still looks great with no sign of the blue returning, of course the bike is correctly jetted now.

Title: Re: Blue Job Review Post by Paraquat on 06/13/12 at 09:24:24 Sandblast it with 80 grit aluminum oxide for a subtle matte finish. --Steve |

Title: Re: Blue Job Review Post by WD on 06/13/12 at 13:05:31 Paraquat, check your local indie shop, see if they carry the Jammer's Handbook catalog from Custom Chrome. Blue Job and similar are temporary products. The discoloration will come back. Get stuck in traffic at a summer rally... your muffler should turn a purple black at the baffle fore end... Even correctly jetted there is a reason my bike has a flat BBQ black muffler and tail pipe. |

Title: Re: Blue Job Review Post by Denise on 06/13/12 at 19:48:58 The plate/light bracket I fabricated because as you said no one seems to make one and I like making stuff , not difficult to do at all. If you dont have the tools just make up what you want from taped together poster board and have a local metal shop make it. 42555E555751545501300 wrote:
