yup wire wool is my weapon of choice too followed but autosol  :happy2: it will bring those up no problems

Dont replace them  :sad:

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

From my detailing thread

Tailpipe
These can be nasty if left for a while but meguairs metal cleaner or autosol will bring them up brilliant with some #00 Wire Wool, a cloth and alot of elbow grease.

Dont leave this bit out though as it can ruin a long clean having dirty tailpipes, you will be amazed at how many people notice!
Best steps would be
- Spray degreaser on pipes and leave for 20/30 mins
- Scrub down pipes with wire wool or a stiff brush (inside only to prevent scratching)
- Apply metal polish with wire wool
- Apply metal polish with cloth
- Buff clean
- repeat if necessary

Thanks guys.

So wire wool/those brill pad kitchen scrub things with Meguirs/Autosol should do it?

Looks like I've a choice of combinations ;)
