Clean and polish exhaust tips - advice please
 

This is an area I've never really done as I've never had BIG tips. Mounted quad 4" units yesterday and wonder what everyone is using....I ordered this as a test - any one used it?

I am not looking for bling, bling shine, I am more looking for a sealant that will allow soot and engine gasses to be wiped off easily

What say the experts?

I use 0000 Fine Steel wool and APC on the inside,

then

M205 or Optimum metal polish with a microfiber on the exterior. You can substitute with your favorite mild polish or metal polish.

Then you can follow up with Opti-Coat 2.0 or Klasse AIO

Thanks - I have 205, the borla stuff and Opti coat (forgot about that!)

Got the Borla polish....nice stuff, thick white paste that polishes and cleans well....

will ISP this aft, and opti coat them for added shielding....

I use an APC and then polish with this (Click picture for link). I love this polish.

My exhaust tip cleaning/protecting regimen:

Clean with APC to get the soot/dirt off.
If the APC won't get rid of some of the stubborn soot on the inside, use #0000 steel wool with Metal Polish #1.
Metal Polish #1 with a Blue Hex Grip Applicator
Metal Polish #2 with a MF applicator
Quick Sealant to seal them up

Not the world's greatest picture, but you get the idea...

Wait on the right that's how the tips looks before?

Correct.

I need to re-do my detailing closet! :facepalm:
