17-09-2017, 09:20 AM #3i dont know if it would be any different for an is200 as for the mr2, but i used a mixture of autoglym metal polish and 3.5k grit micromesh, works a treat. As far as i know though, micromesh is quite tricky to get hold of, especially the really fine stuff.

if you go down that road, dont go too harsh, you will forever be polishing the fine scratches out. I had a go with 32k micromesh, its time consuming!!

'Anything metal'?? Galvanic corrosion as you describe would only be a risk in this situation if you leave the stainless steel in contact with the carbon steel wire wool, or bits of it that may break off of it. Polishing the surface as you need to do after applying the Autosol removes any traces of carbon steel, and the risk of extended galvanic corrosion.
What's the risk of short term exposure? The difference in anodic index is probably less than 0.25V.

Tango I've always found fine grade wire wool and Autosol metal Polish works well
+1, great stuff

Thats why stainless steel exhausts rust, because of the electrolytic reaction.
Unless you do the whole thing, you cant guarantee getting all the bits from the wire wool off. personally, and its only my opinion, i wouldnt.
