ChrisS Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Autosol or Megs all metal and very very fine wire wool. Megs for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Lots of products out there, for a shiney set of tips I've always used Autosol metal polish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmck13 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Megs to clean and then Finish Kare 1000p to seal, its specifically designed for wheels and exhausts and is effective at up to 250 centigrade.

stubzie83 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 When I got my Zed the exhaust pipes were black with grime. Would not shift with normal soap. I used Brasso to loosen up the grime and then some contractors solvent (orange oil based) to dissolve the sticky tar and other stubborn residue. I then used Meguir's NXT metal polish to get them shiny. The Megs contains a wax and makes them easy to clean, just wash and then top up with Megs to keep them looking shiny and clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 2nd one for deffo Fine wire wool could be useful if its really gakked up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Brillo pad is a good starter if they're not too bad ... then Autosol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveRS Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I use the second one Autoglym metal polish in the tube) and apply it with a polishing cloth and then use another polishing cloth to buff it. Like some have said you can also use a very fine wire wool, grade 0000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter10 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Autosol and some 0000 steel wool , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Turbo Wax metal polish for me. http://www.turbowax.com/prod/TurboWaxAluminumPolish But my Z is always clean, so guess that's kind of cheating. Also if you want to keep the inside of the pipes clean, when you've finished washing the car, grab a few sheets of kitchen tissue and wipe the inside of the pipes whilst damp. Will keep them looking good. Others following always notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Take a peek at Husky's work here viewtopic.php?f=22&t=40893&hilit=polishing+exhaust +1 - you don't need to take the exhaust off to clean the tips but if they need the level of work that Husky had to do then follow his process as that was supurb job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
