Grubby Exhaust Pipes - Replace?
RedRobin:
....
I'm amazed at the amount of time and effort you guys put into cleaning your zorst tips.
The stock oem tips were horrendous to keep clean and the silver Millteks were better but still needed lots of work. Now I've got Milltek's new ceramic black satin finish and just a wipe and buff with Meg's NXT Tech 2.0 wax and it's back like new both inside and out - Perfect solution for my laziness. I'd rather be driving than detailing.

:grin:Thats why your cars going pink :wink:
I use some wire wool and Harley Davidson crome polish a few rubs and there good, I echo JPC comments on leaving some products on to long can in effect coz more damage always read the label.

My mothers GTI after some wire wool, megs metal polish and some time
Left is untouched, right one was after only 10 mins
Both done
I then polished them up a few times to add more shine and sealed them with jetseal

new member and still getting used to the whole forum thing, never used one before, my exhausts are black and wont come clean, going to try engine degreaser tomorrow, can anybody shed any light on "jetseal" i.e. where I could get some from and costs etc?

Well I guess Im the saddest of all of you then?
I polished them up with 00 grade wire wool. I then used Autosol to polish them up.
I did this on the odd occasion last summer.
This is the bit that makes me a little sad I guess...............
I..................well...................I kinda..................................Ok I'll just come out with it.................
At the end of each day when the car goes back in the garage I keep a rag in my boot which I remove and give my exhaust tips a little wipe - just the rim part where the carbon bakes itself on.
There, I said it!
However, throughout the whole winter, well for the whole time Ive owned the car, my exhaust tips are always nice and shiney :happy2: lol
If i had a standard GTI with a black rear bumper, i wouldnt be so botheerd TBH. My mate has one and the black tips just blend in with the bumper. However, on an ED30, or a colour coded rear bumper, you MUST have shiney tips!!!
