Cleaning Exhaust tips, A how to....
Heres a little tip i choose to share with yall, when next cleaning you precious.
As most of you have probly noticed, nobod remembers to get the chrome exhaust tips realy shining again after new. Once they go dull, you tend to ignore them. Well, here is how to restore them, and all it takes is to raid the kitchen.
What you are looking for is some steel wool. Or scotchbrite.
when you are washing the car, just give the tips a good rub with the steel wool, inside and out. then just give them a wipe with the spunge and rinse. Its that easy.
the key is to have NO FEAR!! the steel wool will not damage them so long as you dont have a VE HSV GTS, Clubsport R8 or senator. They have alloy tips and are very soft.
Once your tips are clean, you may be tempted to spray you muffler and pipe black. Give into this tempation!! You will be better off for it.
To do this, just go to suercheap and lash out on the $2 can of black enamil. taking care not to hit anything undesirable, go nuts on the muffler. any part of it visible from the rear or sides should be painted. NOTE this is not permanant. It will eventualy come off, mufflers get hot, and i'm not advising any preperation.
Once painted and cleaned, you will be proud to show off ya tips without anyone seeing a scruffy muff hidden behind them.
The same trick with the steel wool can be done on Full stainless mufflers, like my Girlfriends Yaris' Cannons.
Happy Cleaning!
