Filthy exhaust tips

[baviaannl]

I need to do something with my exhaust tips, they are beyond a little spit and polish as I don't think they have ever been cleaned!  I've had the car lifted to examine the vehicle underneath and the exhaust itself is fine and in great condition so absolutely no need to go mad with a solution.

 

Wonder if anyone has used the clip on exhaust tips and could recommend a set which fits the 250 perfectly, any photos would be appreciated.

 

TIA

Get some value wire brillo pads from a supermarket and give that a go. Very effective.

Do you use any particular cleaning product with the pads?

Autosol

No the ones that already have soap in them that are made of very fine wire. Just keep them wet and should come up much better with time

If they're particularly bad, use a tar remover on them first otherwise your brillo pad, steel wool etc will just get torn to pieces.

I remember my tips were in a terrible state after the council had done one of those "resurfacing" jobs where they just cover the road in loose stones, put up 20MPH signs and let the public flatten them down.

Hi

The LS430 has stainless steel tips - Pete cleaned his up - have a read here:

I used a bit of fine wire wool and some WD40 on the end of my IS300 exhaust. It looked great and still does. However, it is actually the end piece of the exhaust not an added tip.

I agree with Lee. Autosol. It shifts everything with sufficient elbow grease and the results speak for themselves.



You can buy it in Halfords or on amazon, eBay, et al.

Few different methods all of which work. 

Autosol or similar metal polish, wire wool and wd40, even brillo pad and brake cleaner.

Autosol is my preferred option after 'tardis' to remove any tar and other gunk.

Im looking for a small slim drill attachment to clean my tips - all the ones I have seen are cone shaped and will hit the bumper - any ideas?

Unless your exhaust tips are filthy filthy filthy x 1000 I think you’re better off with a good product, elbow grease, and maybe something like steel wool.

If you’re absolutely set on using a machine, something like a Dremel may be easier to use in a tight space than a big electric drill.
