Ok, I know there are tons of threads on how to clean the exhaust tips... But I figured this was the best place to post this:


My exhaust tips were BLACK on the inside. Heavy coats of carbon. Went out and got some Meguiar's Hot Rims and never dull, and started going to town and found this:

At first I thought it was just discoloration, but as I cleaned m ore I discovered the inside of the exhaust tips were painted Aero Blue (previous owner I assume). In any case, they didn't use high temp paint and it's baked on pretty good, and badly discolored.


Now it looks way worse than it did when I started. Any suggestions on getting the remainder of the paint off without damaging the tips? I was thinking aircraft remover? The bare metal looks like it's fine underneath the paint...


Thanks!
