What To Use To Clean Exhaust Tips

Fill a bucket with soapy water car wash soap.

What to use to clean exhaust tips. Looked it up online to find out exactly what its made of. I do have black on the chrome exhaust tips they do clean off easy but they make a mess out of the cloth I use to clean them. Have about 10 different tabs open to learn how to clean tips.

Use steel wool for very dirty exhaust tips. On the brushed aluminum or stainless steel models they clean up very easily and a Scotch Brite is good to work with the grain of the surface. Heres one way to clean exhaust tips.

I did this to the tips of a C7 Z06 which get pretty nasty and it only requires a quick wipe once a week to clean them. Polish with Nevr-Dull and then wipe down with a spray on sealant like TWSS. For the rest of the exhaust structure scrub the surface of the exhaust and the interior lip of the exhaust vent with a warm soapy sponge.

Chances are there will be fine pieces of rust on the chrome exhaust pipes. Claying is always an option if the surface doesnt feel smooth and clean. Repeat the process until the rust is removed.

Just be careful of the finish. I was wondering if I can use WD-40 to clean it with steel wool super fine grade and finish it off with metal wax. Use a clean microfiber cloth to wipe away the excess soap and water.

Reapply the sealant every wash. Theyre extremely dirty and the outer part of the exhaust tip has some crust. Use an old cloth to wash off the surface dirt and carbon from the exterior of the exhaust tip.
