Default exhaust

What works best to clean the exhaust tips on a crossfire. I've seen several around that look very clean and almost shiny.
Thanks

Nevr Dull followed by paste wax. Don't forget to pull your wheels and wash/wax the inside of the rims.

Use any metal polish (I recommend blue magic) and a dremel with a polishing cylinder on it - 30 minutes, they will literally look better than new....

Did mine yesterday.

I think you need to drive over to PA with your polishing cylinder and help Tom2112 out!
I will sent him the link to this thread for some pointers.

Chased him enough times through the Dragon to see those dirty tips too often. I think he cleaned them at some point, but usually they look like his wheels

Sorry Tom LOL

Damn! Kick a man in the shorts, why don't cha?!?

My wheels aren't that dirty!

And the pipes aren't dirty they're specially designed with a carbon-fiber coating!! (More carbon than fiber, but there's prolly some grass on the underside, so that counts.)



Hey Beaner, that's not my car in that picture. I know my pipes are darker than that.

Meguiars NXT or Mothers metal polish, Mothers powerball polishing ball on a drill. Works great. Make sure to get inside and outside!
