Cleaning AMG Exhaust tips?

Maybe it's my driving, but these things seem to get EXTREMELY dirty quickly, especially on the bottom half of each of the four tips.

Anyone have a secret as to how to get them looking new again?

Thanks!

I clean and protect my wheels and exhaust tips with the same products. I clean the exhaust tips with the P21S metal polishing soap. This simple and effective product easily breaks up contaminates that are prone to building up on wheels and exhaust tips. This soap comes with an an applicator, just get it wet and wipe it across the soap and you'll get a rich lather. Then just wipe your wheels/exhaust tips and it will clean and shine them in one step. If you have severely oxidized or contaminated exhaust tips or wheels I recommend using the P21S Finish Restorer. If you want to protect your wheels/exhaust tips I put on a coat of the Poorboy's World Wheel Sealant. This product is designed to add a little shine to the surface and long lasting protection. This sealant is extremely resistent to high temperature brake dust, exhaust fumes, road grime, etc. This will keep any surface cleaner for longer and it makes future cleanings easier. The Poorboy's World Wheel Sealant is also our January 07 site special for only $9.99 (regular price $15.99).

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Happy New Year!

We greatly appreciate the forums support and we understand that sometimes you need to buy stuff locally. I have not heard of P21S or Poorboy's World products being carried locally. We're here for you if you need it. Let me know if you have any questions.

The P21S products work great! I have been using their stuff for 5 years now.
