What do you guys use to clean your exhaust tips? Would rim cleaner work?

 

I use the same soapy water as I use on my car when I wash it everytime. If there is anything left over, I use Eagle 1 Chrome Polish.

 

Same here... as i am washing my rims, I also clean the tips with the same sponge and soapy water.

 

I use Meguiers Chrome polish. Works nice. Like everybody said, I wash it first, then dry, then apply... should turn almost black then you wipe it off to a nice shine.

 

Do you wash and polish the inside of the tip as well ? there is a film of soot on the inside.

 

Most insides of the exhaust tips have a coating in em, which does not have a chrome/ stainless finish to it. Just wipe out the inside w/ a wet cloth.

 

buy a new stainless steel cat back system

 

Mothers, Flitz...Any kind of metal polish works well with chrome...

 

i use wax on mine when i am waxing the car, comes out really good, and makes the dirt come right off the next time around

 

Yes, I have polished the inside of my exhaust tips. They're not quite as mirror finished as the outside, but they're noticeably shinier than the matte finish they start out as. I used Mother's Billet polish (seemed to work more quickly than the chrome polish) to get them that way. It took about 6 or 7 applications per wheel to get them shiny. I'll probably do them again this week as it's time to detail again, and see if they come out even shinier.

 

I use Autosol, a metal polish.

 

I use Meguires NXT. Feels like butter.

 

pinnacle.

 

Knew you'd say that

 

i use SOS pads and sulfuric acid. My tips shine boy!
