So i just got an hks hi power exhaust, and im wondering for the future what you guys use to keep it clean and shiny? I know it is stainless steel, but i might get flammed for asking, can i use a stainless steel cleaner like my mom uses in the kitchen on it? Anyway thanks for your input.

 

Nevr-Dull available at PepBoys, AdvanceAuto, etc.

 

Never Dull is very good. So is mothers polish, just used it yesterday actually (on my exhaust).

 

For inside the exhaust tips I use kitchen scouring powder. Works great.


For the outside Blue Magic works well.

 

Hahaha. Good call CleanZ...

Since I have the bumper tuck & my exhaust is mucho visible, I actually start out with Nevr Dull and then use Mother's polish to finish her off. Both are very good. I like the Nevr Dull to clean off the road gunk & asphalt particles & give it a good shine. Then I use Mother's to bring it to that "eat off of me" level.

 

Thanks for the information guys.
I've been wondering this myself.

I have the same exhaust and it's looking pretty ugly right now

 

I'm gonna try that this weekend. Thanks!

 

You'll be amazed how much of a difference the cleaning makes. Really. Take before and after pictures & you won't believe it.

Also, our exhaust looks so good with the bumper tuck mod, and it'll cost you either two zip ties or 4 self tapping screws from Lowe's. Cheap, but effective mod if you like the look.

 

Flitz works wonders.


Any of the above will work just fine too! The stuff for inside the tips i'll have to try...i usually use a scotch brite pad and some elbow grease

 

Thanks everyone for the replies, i will try some of these out when i do my full detail this weekend. Thanks again.

 

Take some pictures when you do! I'm interested in seeing the difference

 

im gonna make a new thread for my first full detail, so im sure you'll see it on here with before and after pics

 

Your right, I walk out of my house every morning and go 'damn my exhaust is shiney'. I have the bumper tuck as well (4 screws). I just bought a different ehaust (JIC Single) and also just ordered the GT Spec Lower Brace.

 

A nice write-up from Detailed Image on exhaust tip detailing (you can substitute your own products such as the several listed in this thread):

i found using a plug in high speed.torque drill w a mothers red foam cone makes it WORLDS easier to get into the cracks, stay clean ( that mothers sh#t NEVER comes out from under your nails... kinda gross lookin) and gives fantastic results.

 

Eventually, I'll pick it up and the Nismo diff cover.

Also,

OP, if your tips don't look great after cleaning, I can give you the ebay seller that I bought my genuine titanium angled tips from. They look much better than the X02 tips and they stand up to the test of time better than the tips that aren't genuine 100% titanium. Just PM me and I can find the seller name for you. He doesn't always keep the angled ones listed, so you'll need to message him directly and ask about them specifically. Also, beware of some of the ones on ebay because they aren't 100% genuine titanium, have a weird burn pattern on them, or are straight cut and aren't angled.
