Warning! Do not use WHEELCLEANER on your exhaust tips!
You guys probably allready know this, but I had my car waxed by Swissöl, which is one of the best and most exclusive waxes you can get around here, but when I went to pick it up i saw that my exhaust tips turned "Mat", not shiny anymore!
So they eventually told me that they use a wheel cleaning agent on the tips and that it turned out that way! The cleaner removes the clearcoat on the tips, and turn your exhaust into very matt (Is that even a english word, it mean that the shiny-ness of the exhausts are gone!)
They are buying me 4 new exhaust tips, because they ruined the looks of the exhaust, so be warned all you AMG (and SL/CL/E500+) owners out there!

don't even use the waxes at car washes because they will cause yellowing.
My detail guy that promotes the "worlds best wax" says that the waxes in car washes do more harm than good.
