One of the bummers when I bought my car was that the previous owner had Not taken care of the pipes.

Well, I just finished a little scrubbing with 0000 steel wool, scotchbrite pad, warm soap and water, and windex.

See the before and afters!

Before:




At the Dealership - they looked like this





the left side wasnt as bad.

After: about 45 minutes of scrubbing (not done yet - still need some polish)

Question: why does AMG hide the logo on the tips?

has anyone ever tried to reposition the tip?
I just got my car and noticed that you cant see the logo
I was going to get under it this weekend and see if its a screw/bolt that holds the tips in place and if its adjustable or are they welded

you would think it would be a nice sign to see the logo from under the diffuser

Interestingly, my coupe shows them pretty clearly standing from behind and it is completely stock. I don't have a photo handy just yet but perhaps there a difference between coupe and sedan?

Steel wool did a nice job. Someone on this forum said they used oven cleaner and it does an excellent job

Non-abrasive. This stuff works the best out of anything I've ever tried.

They turned out really well. Careful though with steel wool.

Just use P21 Polishing Soap, stuff is amazing and will make cleaning them take about 5 min.

Looks great!
Do the exhaust on the coupe's stick out more?
Mine definitely sticks out about an inch more than yours in the picture

I I have a coupe and they are hidden

i had best results with merguiars chrome rim cleaner + steel wool, and then finished off with the polishing soap!

For those complaing about the exhaust logo not showing....

Go take a look at your exhaust after a nice run while they are piping hot, logo will be clear. Our tips come out a good inch almost.

ZephyrAMG

The exhaust tips are not adjustable but just like mentioned above, after one spirited drive, they extend due to heating up and you can see the logos. Mine are so tucked under and in the diffuser that you can barely see the tips then they erect out as the car heats up....


Tee hee hee....I said erect...

So when I drive the car like its meant to be driven.... it gets a boner just like me?

So my car is a guy not a gal?
Interesting.... need to rename her... this is like the opposite of Bruce -> Caitlyn

The best thing for cleaning, polishing chrome steelnis a loosely wadded ball of aluminum foil.....you will be amazed

hyperion667

^going to try this........do you use it dry?


I have had luck with turtle wax chrome cleaner, leave it on to marinate a bit first......then wipe clean, and I mean clean!

jptaylor

Yes, dry....don't use the heavy duty aluminum foil, just the plain Jane version...don't was it up Too tightly but also don't be afraid to use some decent pressure....trick is the aluminum is softer than the chrome and the steel so it won't scratch it but it will get them shiny new, it will even polish off any surface rust as long as its not through the chrome plating

i just use stainless steel cleaner powder and a sponge like if i were cleaning SS pots. Come out new everytime

What rims and rear diffuser is that?

BLKROKT

It's a Väth rear diffuser.
Stay tuned, I just got my custom-cut carbon back from RockWest Composites. I'm making something similar to that, and will post up the CAD template when I know it all fits correctly.

hyperion667

also looks like the fins are bolted on? what's going on there??

Case1906

They do 'expand' when hot and stick out more on most of the cars.

Go run your car hard for a good 15 mins then take a look at your tips....

abcut973

Exactly. That's what I use for mine.
Good job OP!
