Well I guess Im the saddest of all of you then?
I polished them up with 00 grade wire wool. I then used Autosol to polish them up.
I did this on the odd occasion last summer.
This is the bit that makes me a little sad I guess...............
I..................well...................I kinda..................................Ok I'll just come out with it.................
At the end of each day when the car goes back in the garage I keep a rag in my boot which I remove and give my exhaust tips a little wipe - just the rim part where the carbon bakes itself on.
There, I said it!
However, throughout the whole winter, well for the whole time Ive owned the car, my exhaust tips are always nice and shiney
lol
If i had a standard GTI with a black rear bumper, i wouldnt be so botheerd TBH. My mate has one and the black tips just blend in with the bumper. However, on an ED30, or a colour coded rear bumper, you MUST have shiney tips!!!
