Exhaust tips.
« on: February 05, 2010, 07:29:12 pm »
Thought the tips were stainless steel?
If so mine have gone rusty. Tried cleaning them but it looks like all shinny colour has worn off what can i do or get to get them back shinny again?

The problem with the designated driver program, it's not a desirable job. But if you ever get sucked into doing it, have fun with it. At the end of the night, drop them off at the wrong house.

There was a thread recently in the detailing section about this  :happy2:

Alternatively get some new tips put on...

Agree with Scott, although you may need some fine wire wool if they are as bad as you say!  :happy2:

Once you have removed the black/rust give them a buff up with a MF cloth.

i use autosol on my standard exhaust and it works a treat. I put plenty on, leave it a minute or 2, then buff it off with any old bit of rag (i use an old t-shirt). Apply a bit off pressure when you buff it off and it will come up good as new  :happy2:
