Grubby Exhaust Pipes - Replace?

(1/6) > >>

rdfcpete:
Guys,

My exhaust tailpipes are pretty grimey.
The left pipe came out relatively well after trying some heavy duty de-greaser and also, some Meguirs all metal polysh. The right I suspect is beyond recovery to a sortof shiny state [pic below... This is pre scrub + polysh attempt btw!].



Is the best option here to simply replace the tailpipes, or is this avoided cause they're expensive and I could probably get the current ones looking better?

Thanks,

Pete.

TomB:
You should be able to bring them back up with some stages of wet and dry paper.

rdfcpete:
Wet + dry with any substance on, or as they are?
Won't it scratch it in the longrun, or will the Meguirs take care of the final appearance?

Cheers.

I'd use some AUTOSOL on them, they'll come up like new with very little work.

The 100gm tube and 2 cloths will do the job, and a little elbow grease  :happy2:

i used autosol on mine with one of those pan scrubber sponge things and it brought them up great,  now i just use a metal polish every few weeks to keep them tip top
