My car had some nasty baked on black stuff on the exhaust tips. I tried wax, scratch remover, and aluminum/chrome polish (which worked a little). But nothing would remove it very well...

I am one of the guys who notices the little things and I think clean exhaust tips and insides of wheels really make a car look new. So I kept thinking about how to clean the tips...

I thought about steel wool or similar, but did not want to scratch them up too bad. Then I thought about some cleaner and plastic scrubbers I have for our ceramic stove cooktop. It is made to not scratch, but to also get the baked on black stuff off. I thought it may be worth a try.

That method worked extremely well! Took off almost all the black crusty stuff off and left the tips shiny and not scratched looking. I need to get it out into the sunlight and hit it again to really get all the stuff off that is hiding in the cracks.

Anyway, just thought I would pass that along. Anyone else have any good exhaust tip cleaning tips (pun intended!)?

 

search on detailing section, I'm sure you will have answer quickly.

It appears on some detailing forums that the NXT polish works well for tips as well...

 

Thanks guys! This forum is huge! I need to spend some time and look outside of the current one and find some good tidbits!

And yes I am up at 12:30am ET cleaning my exhaust tips...

 

Steel wool does the trick.

 

i needed that too

 

+1 I used his advice--the P21S and steel wool inside worked wonders. Then some metal polish to bring back the shine--plus, now when I was the car, the black comes right off thanks to the clean/polished metal underneath

 

NevrDull, NevrDull, NevrDull.
Cheap
works perfectly.

I have used this stuff for years, mainly on stainless on boats. amazing stuff, truly amazing.

 

Where do you buy NeverDull? Never heard of it until today.

 

Neverdull works, Borla actually released a Stainless Steel Exhaust cleaner at PRI, haven't tried it yet but have heard it works very good on stainless steel exhausts.

 

I think NeverDull is an Eagle One product...correct me if im wrong...

 

Try "Bar Keepers Friend". It is a wonderful stainless steel cleaner that is non abraisive and has a little polish in it. It can be found at most grocery stores or target. Cost about $1.50. It will not scratch the surface and works amazing. Restaurants use it to take off baked on items without hurting the stainless steel or glass.

 

Never dull was bought by Eagle one, although they started as a small stand alone company. These days you can find it in Wal Mart and pretty much all the auto part stores

 

Metal polish for aluminum and mag Rims works really well!!
