exhaust tips

Good day gang.
Keep admiring all the great pics of your cars.
Can't help but notice the gleaming chrome exhaust tips.
Wondering what the secret is to keeping them clean. In particular the areas on the inside leading edges that I cannot figure out how to get the black soot off of.

Thanks in advance

I use P21 billet cleaner/polishing soap or something like that...very slight polish to the soap which takes off the carbon build up no problem.

Liquid Brasso if they are real dirty, will knock the inside and outside soot off.

I second P21! MAGIC. this stuff is phenomenal. Apply before you start washing the whole car, wash off with the whole car when you're wrapping up and they'll look like new!

I keep mine waxed and polished with Zaino Z1 or Z5 with the clear coat protectant on the top. The soot will wipe/wash off if you keep them waxed

I use turtle wax chrome polish -- works well -- I start with soap and water, then use a new microfiber rag (disposable) with the chrome polish and this does a nice job -- an old toothbrush with polish to get the crevices.

Looks great, but I can't help ask. Didn't the steel wool scratch the tips?

very very little. but then you go behind it with some Mother's Mag/Aluminum polish and it really brings out the shine. mine were terrible. now? not awful...

Well, jeez. Now, that's convincing. I have long tube catless headers and my tips are in rough shape.
So do you apply the mother's polish to the steel wool and then go to town? Then repeat the process but a microfiber?

i actually used Brillo to start. The steel wool and cleaner in em (Ajax, basically) does wonders. Get all the carbon and residue off, THEN use the Mother’s with a microfiber. Happy cleaning!! Post pics when you’re done!
