A wipe with WD40 gets the worst of the crud off and then a polish with Autosol  :happy2:
If you keep your ends clean you don't have to do it that often.
Bye Bye Edition 30.

I have found that the GTI ends get very dirty, very quickly. Most of my other cars have been fairly easy to keep the tail pipes clean, but my GTI seems to be almost impossible to keep them silver. Two days after polishing them up, they're black again  :sad1:

You'll just have to make polishing them part of your daily routine  :grin:
I only have to polish mine once more since the car is no longer driven. It's just sitting on the driveway getting cleaner and cleaner each day  :P

Hope you get rid soon enough mate. She is a beauty and at a fair price.
