Default Re: What is a good way to really clean the Exhaust Tips?

I sprayed it on the exhaust tips, let it sit for 5 minutes, wrapped a plastic bag around the outter area's of the exhaust tips to protect the paint and I also made sure not to get spray into the holes of the exhaust. I then started to chip away with my SOS pad with some warm water. I got about 95% of it all off and it looks FANTASTIC, wow, who would've thought, it makes the SRT6 look like I just added a whole new exhaust system. I know most people won't even notice this type of change but I sure will when I'm coming up from behind towards the car and it sure looks SWEET!

I bought some Nevr Dull Magic Wadding Polisher to protect the shine.

I'd recommend it, its a nice touch to add.

I'll add more polish every time I do a car wash just to keep it shiny.

Those shiny tips on the NA get dirty really quickly and are a pain in the rump.

My NA is black, has OEM brake pads and shiny tips, that is a hard car to keep clean.

My SRT is Aero Blue, ceramic brake pads and black tips, it is a breeze to keep clean.

My decision is made quite easily.
