    Bar Keepers Friend?

    Anyone know where I can get this in NZ?

    It's an american cleaning product. You can definately get it in the UK but not sure about NZ.

    Looking on overseas forums they really rate it for cleaning downpipes. My downpipes are looking a little brown at the mo, tried metal polish on them but with limited succcess. I want to restore them to their original golden hue.

    Never heard of the stuff. People in this neck of the woods could be forgiven for thinking it was a baseball bat...
    Are you talking copper downpipes?
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    I don't reckon are copper, though I did read they were stainless steel but I really don't have a clue what they are made from.

    It is a street triple. The downpipes have a golden hue (rather than coppery).

    Due to the lack of replies I reckon it's not easily available over here. I might try an alloy wheel cleaning solution (as they were recommended as well).

    Downpipes, huh? I thought you meant on your house! You know, the pipes that come down from the spouting...
    If you'd said 'headers' there would have been no confusion
    They could be stainless steel. Autosol is very good for that.

    Yes, bar keepers friend is available here in New Zealand.

    You'll always have a fight though, cheap stainless headers will always turn that colour unfortunately.
