I use MOthers metal cleaner on my exhaust and a microfiber towel. Takes all the nasty black crap off and makes it really shiny

I like eagle one wadding. Comes in a Metal Can and you just pull a piece off and rub the dull or dirty piece and wipe off. It last forever (it seems).

Yeah.. I use similar stuff called 'never dull'. Its a metal/chrome polish I use for my pinball machine parts. Its AMAZING what this stuff can do.

Have spots or rust or stuff.. this makes it disappear.

I had the hard caked on stuff on the inner lip of my tips.. and BEWM.. gone

I second the vote for 'Never Dull". Stuff is great!

I wash them every time. Standard procedure; wash the top first, dirtiest last, the very last thing that gets washed is the bottom of the exhaust tips. They're always dirty, but they clean up real easy.

Default cleaning exhausts

Mothers
OR if you can find it, WENOL (from Germany). Turns everything black, then wipe off.
Never do this hot or even warm- it makes a mess.
Soft cloth to buff up the shine

is it safe to assume that nevrdull can be used on the cat portion of the exhaust as well? it's pretty black there too for me...

edit: wow, just realized that i dug up a REALLY old thread.
