Step 2
Spray P21S Total Auto Wash inside and outside of the tips. The gentle citrus-based formula will begin breaking down the carbon deposit and hard water spots on the outside of the tips
Using latex gloves, take a small piece of OOOO steel wool and begin cleaning the inside and outside of the tips. Use gentle pressure initially and increase pressure as needed. Let the product and wool do most of the work
After wiping down with steel wool and P21S Total Auto Wash
GP Yellow Microfiber Towel before wiping off tips after cleaning with P21S Total Auto Wash and steel wool
Tips after wipedown
Most would, and could, stop after this step. However, being OCD, I still see room for improvement
Towel after wipe down

Step 3
Zymol Metall is a mild and effective metal polish. It safely cleans all types of metal without any caustic fumes or harsh chemicals. This is an all-natural product that comes in a towelette. The strawberry and cream scent is just delicious 
Allow Metall to sit for about 3-5 minutes
Here's the towelette after wiping the inside and outside of the tips. As you can see, there was some residue left behind
Using a GP Yellow Microfiber Towel, wipe off Metall to a brilliant shine and luster
Final Result

Moe,
I'll never look at exhaust tips the same way again. Thanks for the tips, so to speak.

Glad you found this of value. Tips are usually and area that may be overlooked, but it makes such a difference when detailed properly.

I got a resonse on my BB but I don't see it here...The question was about the inside tips of the 997 Turbo being black...The answer is yes. The inside of the turbo tips are black and using OOOO wool will remove the factory paint. I learned that the hard way  You can use the TAW to clean inside the tips and the OOOO wool will work excellent on the outside of the tips. Also, you can touch up the insode of the tips if they're showing age by cleaning them well, and sraying High Temp Flat Black Paint. Make sure it's high temp paint and it's satin finish, I used Dupli Color that you can find at auto parts store.

If you make it part of your routine and clean the pipes, the carbon won't be difficult to remove.

Awesome write-up and results  I'm going out to the garage to take care of mine now! My poor baby's previous owner neglected her tips  Also neglected her alloys...what do you recommend to remove baked-on stubborn brake and road grime??? Will the P21S work for that too? Obviously not steel wool...

Glad to hear this thread inspired you The TAW should work well on your wheels. Post a picture if you can and I can better diagnose.
