I just picked up an Acura Certified 07 TL type S yesterday, Black on Black. I told the dealer I wanted him to swap the exhaust tip out for a nice shiny set on another Type S at the lot. Long story short , the dealer told me they are welded onto the exhaust system. So now I need some advise on polishing them or what is involved in replacing them, as well as the cost.

Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Just go get some Never Dull and Meguires/Mothers stainless polish.

 

Just curious to know what a dealer charges for a CPO '07 TLS if you don't mind sharing the information such as miles, location etc.

You can PM me if you want.

 

I'm new to the forum, just bought an '07 TLS -- 32K, Certified -- 24,500. Looking forward to making new friends here. I just sold my 04 330 CIC, and before that '03 350 Z. Lots of nice people on those forums too!

 

Well you won't find any nice people on this forum

Scotchbrite pad + Soft Scrub + a little water, presto they're clean & shiney.

 

I wouldn't use a Scotchbrite pad, too harsh.

 

use bar keeper's friend! it's only 2-3 bucks and it'll last you a lifetime haha.

 

MOTHERS MAG AND ALUMINUM POLISH and a little elbow grease got them like new again for me. just my 2 cents.

Good stuff.

 

for a deeper shine follow up with some Eagle 1 Neverdull and then optimum metal polish!

 

can this be used on the lip of my vsxx too?

i paid $26k with all season mats and color splash guards.. car had 22,824 miles when i bought it. i got it from acura of ramsey in new jersey

 

Blitz also works very well -- have a few rags because it will turn the rags black and nasty.

 

I use nylon "brillo" pads on my tips

 

Toothpaste FTW??

 

0000 steel wool, a stainless steel brush, Bar Keeper's Friend, water, Never Dull, and some serious elbow grease worked for me. Still have a tiny bit more work to do to make them perfect, but it's a night and day difference. Unfortunately, the etching won't ever come out...I don't think the previous owner ever cleaned the tips.
