No comments on how cheaply the website is please. I graduated with a web design degree well over a year ago, but I honestly haven't touched Photoshop since then unless it was to resize a picture, and I'm trying to remeber how to do this sort of thing slowly, so I can redo my site and create a few other sites that I need to. . .

Enjoy!

That is actually useful. I recently had my bumper touched up and there is overspray on both exhaust tips. I was wondering how to clean them up.

Thanks,
Chris S.

I use mother's mag polish.

u know what else works really well? stainless steel appliance cleaner. that stuff will polish them tips up really really good. that and a paper towel=shiny tips. I guess the method mentioned in that link is for when you havent ever cleaned your tips.

I use Klasse All In One and Invisible Glass.

The AIO gets that black soot in the middle of the tip really well and the Invisible Glass cleans up everything else. I'm sure there are other cleaners that work well too, but if you are just maintaining your tips then this works well. If you have neglected them and have to restore the tips, then I would go for something a little more agressive.

Haha... no that's not my car. In any case just clean one of those tips per day. After you're done with the last one, start on the first one because it'll probably be quite dirty by then

BAR KEEPER'S FRIEND

This product is designed to clean many surfaces (fiberglass, metal, ceramic, etc) but do not use on paint. It is a caustic and will eat right through paint. It is perfect for polished metal surfaces. You can find it at your local Walmart or supermarket. I have used it for 10 years with no problems. Make sure you use it at the end of a car wash so you don't get it on your hands and then on the paint.

I would never recommend using steel wool to clean exhaust tips. It only dulls the finish and removes the top layer of protection.

Wow this works excellent. I took both my mufflers off and spent about 30 min cleaning them and they look brand new again.
