best way to clean exhaust tip?

[tondeezy99]

i noticed a little residue on mine, and would like to know the best way to clean it. Anyone know how to get it nice and clean? :biggrin:

Rim cleaner works well for the dirt and grim, I used a cheap headlight restore kit on my stock one and got it shiny again, however that's probably not the best way to go about it.

will have to try that! as for now, I suppose i'll just use some rim cleaner! thanks xru fam!

didn't work as i only have rim protectant, found a can of battery cleaner, will that help to get the corrosion off the outside?

I was thinking about using quad fine steel wool

Just use steel wool grit 0000 and some metal polish

I'll have to try tomorrow. I have too much grime, need to get it looking clean!

Chrome cleaner or chrome polish.

Flitz is good stuff for cleaning exhaust tips and stuff like that.

Wash as much grime & dirt off as you can. Use 000 or 0000 steel wool to get the rest off. This will get most of the black soot from the exhaust gas off. Follow that with some metal polish to make it all shiny again, I preferred Mothers Mag & Aluminum polish. Put on the shade, crack open a cold one, sit back and admire your handy work. :crinklehair:

I find not having one is the easiest way to keep it clean.

I rub a little never dull on it after every wash works like a charm .

get chrome polisher/cleaner depending on what kind of tip you have. works well for me

I used some steel wool mixed with some chrome polish and rust remover. Worked well, but still need to get more off.
