Exhaust tips look a bit dark, Autosol worked earlier on my other post....but wondering what others use to keep their tips tip top?

If chrome the only thing I use is autosol, although I've found brake parts cleaner or wd40 help soften / dissolve the carbon build up and any tar.

Afterwards I follow up with a ceramic wax or high quality polymer wax to ease cleaning.

For alloy tips I use a very fine steel wool with autosol and some wd40 mixed in, followed by a final polish with autosol... Then a good wax.

Would that stuff work if I have a couple tips that I feel haven't been cleaned in a realllllllly long time ?

I use alloy wheel cleaner with general maintenance wash.

I have the stainless inner with carbon fibre outer sleeves, so doesn't get those nasty black hard deposits on them like the chrome tips/OE tips.

Thanks Dave, where did you source the tips from?..like the sound of them, easy to install?

Got them off Ebay, Akrovic or what ever it's called copies.

Need to find a good pic of them.

I use the superfine steel wool (grade 000) on my akra tips and the stock S3 8p ones and it comes up a treat.
Even if it's not been done for years, the wool should remove the grime.

Like these?

I don’t clean mine as I prefer them in black. I suppose I should have them black chromed

Only got this pic on my phone so the tips are a bit in the dark.

Basically like these, and they just clamp on, providing you have the correct bit of stub pipe out of the back box.
