Guys,

So back in the summer I bought off Machine Monkey a lovely pair of shiny exhaust tips, fitted them to the car and they looked great. (Cheers again Matt) :thumbsup:
However, they are now looking a bit sooty and could do with a clean up. Tried the usual, hot soapy water, but no success. Anyone know of any good cleaning products to use on them?

Cheers,
 
Autosol metal Polish :)

I find AutoFinesse Mercury has more chemical bite than Autosol so can be an easier time with a microfibre, ie no need for 00 grade wire wool.

I've got a set of MM exhaust tips fitted and I just give them a good rub with Autosol and they come up just like new :D

The rule is don't let them get that bad in the first place :poke: :wink:
 
So this is how they looked this morning...

Then I took a trip to Halfords and bought this....

Then after 20minutes cleaning them this afternoon, they ended up looking like this...

:thumbsup:
 
How the fcuk did they get like that? :o

my MM tips have not seen a wash since fitted, and just need a wipe to clean them .........
 
Haha, not looked at them since the day I fitted them! Also with wet roads round here, they've got a bit sprayed! Much better now though, and will be keeping on top of them :thumbsup:
 
They do look a lot worse in the original picture than they really were. And that's not a sign of how the zed looks! It's nicely tucked away and I'm giving it a full going over tomorrow - early Christmas present for it :D
 
It's says a lot about he build quality when they clean up at good :thumbsup: someone should buy that MM guy a beer :rofl: as said above scotch bright will clean the inside nicely. But metal polish as used on them is probably the safest option.

They look great again :thumbsup:
 
Mean to say you don't carry a tube of solvol in your pocket. :) once a week without fail easy peasy :) :)
