Cleaning of TL-S chrome trim, exhaust tips, headlights...

For headlights I have seen Meguiars Plast X recommended, and also heard Plexus Plastic cleaner works well. Which is better?

As for the exhaust and chrome trim, I am not sure. Thoughts?

Do you use the plastX or Eagle1 NeverDull? I've always wondered what the best product for chrome trim was....

I just got Never Dull for my tail pipe...it worked very well. It says you can use it for any metal surfaces. Can you really use it for chrome pieces? The reason I asked is because I thought they were plastic.

On the newer cars the chrome trim is chromed plastic .. the NevrDull will work on them too .. just be a little gentle .. let the product do the work .. no need to rub hard.

The exhaust tips if in bad shape I'll use #0000 steel wool and a QD spray first then NevrDull.

Matter of fact just did that today on an Infiniti G35.

vin .. give it a go .. if the tips are left too long they can take on staining that won't come out .. I do mine a few times a year but the car is washed a lot so no real buildup is there outside of the winter months.

I also do a couple layers of NuFunish on them occasionally.

I threw a coat of NuFinish on my wheels today. Picked up the nevrdull as well, but didn't get to use it yet. No real need to for the exhaust tips yet.
