Help cleaning exhaust tip

bazrazmataz · Aug 18, 2014

I'm cleaning up the tip of an exhaust before it's fitted so far I have cleaned with soap and wire wool but there is some sort of stain that I cannot remove no matter how much I scrub.

Not sure what even caused a stain like this but there is a similar one on the bottom.

Anyone got any tips

Autosol works miracles

I can recommend both Autosmarts new Metal polish or the Britemax twins

Cillet bang! Bang and the dirt is gone

i bought a car with ss exhaust and it looked all rusty and stained and I cleaned it up with that and it worked a treat

I used to work for a guy that restores classic cars and he used a fine wire wool and brasso to clean up chrome it works wonders!

I normally use the Britemax twins and fine grade steel wool - the green easy cut on the steel wool then the white final shine on an old microfibre, buff after to a high shine.

I have used dremels and Mothers Powerballs on exhaust tips as well!

Autosol is good, worked for me

Sorry if I sound a bit daft, but do you guys use Autosol only? Cheers.

I rub in the autosol and wire wool it to get the majority of the stains etc off then reapply and polish up with a micro fibre cloth. Came up great when I got my Ibiza last month and that's how I done it when I owned a motorbike.

Ive always just used autosol on its own, never with wire wool. Meguiars metal polish is also very good.

Autosol every time ... and a bit of elbow grease
