Restore back box

[madmatt]

I have a stainless steel back box that doesn't look fresh AT ALL. There is tar, red paint, and corrosion. How do I restore it?



For tar I use gasoline and it works well, but for the rest? Any ideas?

Super fine Wire wool. Someone painted your bumper on the car?

id use tar and glue remover for the tar then some auto-sol on some fine wire wool

Well, result speaks for itself I think:



Tar remover did nothing (at least the one I bought), wire wool is awesome, and metal polish helped a bit, and lot of elbow grease. Hope this thread will help someone else in the same situation
