I just tried BKF last Friday...best exhaust tip polishing method EVER. My ATLP tips look almost brand new again (after being through Colorado seasonal changes for almost 2 yrs) and that was after only working on each tip for about 5-10 mins. For $1.75 and some effort, you can't go wrong! I'm gonna polish up the tips again & hit the mufflers too when I have some more time.

 

Bump!
its about to be spring time, fellas!
get your tips cleaned!

 

 

Tell that to Mother Nature....she just dumped a foot of snow on Kansas City today.

 

One of my all time favorite threads

 

thanks for this, I'll be picking some BKF tomorrow for sure!

 

Thanks… Im definitely doing this clean up on the weekend,, It looks so clean, BKF it is.

 

Just a friendly reminder! it's spring time! clean your tips with Bar Keeper's Friend!

Wow, that stuff works great! They look amazing, Justn!

 

thanks Austin! I washed my car today!

 

 

I'll be looking for this stuff in my area. Excellent tip for such an overlooked detail lol

 

OK I hate to be that guy but I have been cleaning 1 side for 30 mins now and this is the best it's come out to be. My lower back is killing me, my hand hurts, there's white shit all ove...*bitching intensifies*
I am the 1%

 

Chris, I like the inside of the tips to be black...I just polish the outside...

^^^ Looks good.

 

Thanks SB!

 

oh wow! didnt know this thread took off! awesome job fellas!

 

I wonder if that powdered Comet cleaner will work the same? I'm gonna pick up a can of BKF from Home Depot tomorrow. Nice Post!

 

LOL I'm pretty sure the inside of the factory exhaust tips are painted black from factory on purpose. At least that's how they are on all 04-08 base model TLs.

Painting the inside of the exhaust tip gives it a illusion that makes it look bigger.

You were probably removing that painted surface thinking it was exhaust soot lol

 

So should the inside of the type s be black as well? Should that be left untouched?

 

Yes, leave the inside untouched, unless you like the full polished look.

 

^^^^ This.....

 

Cant wait to pick up my Bar Keeper Friend and try this on my tips!! The results i am seeing just makes you wanna do it!! Good post OP!!!

After hitting it up Bar Keeper, should it best to polish the tips to or just let it be.??

 

Ahh - the good old Bar Keepers Friend. Been using that since day one on the HKS - i use it every time I wash the car...
