Default Cleaned out my tailpipes

So tomorrow the Auto Technology division of my school is having their annual car show and barbecue. My teacher asked me if I'd show the Jag, so of course I spent my afternoon detailing it... I washed and waxed it, then brought out my metal polish to brighten up all the chrome trim a little bit.

I got to the tailpipes and remembered this car I saw at a Jaguar show last summer, and the owner had polished the INSIDES of the tailpipes... and I must say it looked sharp. So... TWO HOURS LATER... here's how I did:

Before


After


Pictures are bad because by the time I finished it was dark out! I'll take some tomorrow at the car show.
