Awesome write up and pictures. Really looks great. Clean pipes really separates a great detail job from an incredible one.

Some more results with a different product

Here are a few photos of a 997 TT's exhaust, before and after. (Don't mean to thread jack, hoping this will add to the thread.)

Process was:
Soak with Prima Mystique
Rub off most of grime with microfiber
Polish with P21S multi surface restorer (amazing product, works really well on a wide variety of applications)

Befores:

Just used the Mystique (auto wash) and let it sit for a few seconds, then rinsed and wiped it out with a microfiber. Nothing to dress the inside, just left it plain. The pics show some smudging on the plastic bits just outside the pipes which was cleaned up after those pictures were taken.

I have the AWE black tips. Should I use the same process? Is a "Tip Cleaning Bundle" far behind? LOL

Zymol Metall is not a wax, it's a true metal polish. 1z mpw is a polish/wax that's designed for the paint, not metals. Zymol Metall comes in a towlette form and the 1z mpw is a liquid paste that is applied with a microfiber pad applicator. Both have their own unique function.

One more question-
I tried this exact same technique today for over an hour with the same products. My car is an E55 w 55k miles, and the inside exhaust tips have never once been cleaned.
My result is definately better than it was originally, and I know you're doing this to a newer 63 car, but mine is nowhere near this level of cleanliness or perfection.
Should I invest more time and energy with this process, could you recommend anything else, or am i stuck being at about 50% perfect??
Thank you so much!

What exactly did you do and use? There have been some pretty bad tail pipes that have been brought back to life using the same procedure and products. Sometimes, you may have to do it a few times. But, there are times where the damage is too far gone and that's the best that can be done. Can you take some pictures and post? Thanks.

I followed your directions to a T, the exact same way, including using the same products. Give me your email so I can send you photos of the end result. Thanks!
