Cleaning the exhuast tips
Has anyone found the trick to getting their exhaust tips chrome and not black? If they aren't clean, the rest of the car looks dirty the matter how much it shines. What do you guys use to clean out the inside of the exhaust tips? I am thinking a little muriatic acid on a damp sponge might be good for cleaning out the inside of the tips and getting all that black "soot" out...

I wish compound was the answer.. this has years of carbon buildup in the pipe since I never really kept on top of it. Thanks for the tip on the turtle wax.. I do remember using that many, many years ago and have favorable memories of it.. I'll have to pick some up and give it a try. Thanks...

The rim cleaner works well when it's not built up on it over the years.
Mine were in a pretty bad shape. I use steel wool/SOS pads to clean them however they did lose their chrome finish shine since the steel wool isn't so soft. I ended up using a polishing wheel on a power drill along with rouge Jewellery polish. Turned out amazing. Almost brand new. Good luck.

Thanks for all of the tips... I am doing a lot of work to the car this weekend.. finishing the brakes, painting the calipers, doing all the filters including the cabin filter, plugs, coolant flush, oil, filter and so on and on... if I have time to get the exhaust done this weekend Ill do a before and after and let you know how some of these tips worked out.
