Exhaust Tips Clean

[jaylufc17]

When i bought my GTi over a year ago they were covered in oil...

used metal polish and elbow grease lol however wasnt seeing much of a difference

used oven clean on there and that got rid of a lot (remaining is mainly on the tip, around the exhaust is pretty clean)

what else can i use for this

try using 0000 grade wire wool mate plus autosol plus elbow grease of course - works for me. a coat of wax makes cleaning them next time a lot easier... there was a thread about fitting new tips over the top of the original ones somewhere on here.. audi ones i think.. if all else fails...

I spent hours trying to get mine looking good.

In the end I paid £20 delivered for some tips that go over the top off ebay. They look the part

Paint them black.... then you never have to worry about them

What did you use to apply the metal polish?

I used Fairy liquid with wire wool, then Autosol with wire wool, then finally Autosol with a cloth.  Didn't take long and the results were pretty good.  Wire wool took care of most of the dirt.

Quite a few threads on this. Think the consensus is that once the tips are 'gone' beyond a certain point, you're p*ssing in the wind.

Autosol is quite good, as long as whatever you're cleaning/polishing isn't heavily corroded. I think the standard tips are mild steel? That won't help.

Just get the standard system off a for a full 3" jobbie. Perfect excuse.
