Yeah, it took me a solid 2 and a half hours of scrubbing. Definitely worth it though, when I first saw it, I was like crap these tips look like crap! Lol, but they are shiny as if they were new now and the inside is all cleaned up too.
Thanks for the compliments.

Thanks guys. I have to say, the inside of the tips were a pita. Took forever to clean that carbon build up because I think it was stuck on the inside for over a year. Nevr dull couldn't even clean it.
The tips were pretty simple, just patience, just keep rubbing with the Nevr Dull and it just takes off the discoloration.
Later down the road, I will go back and maybe use steel wool to get the inside of the tips a little better and the piping/rest of the muffler.

Really nice work, looks great now! I'm very impressed.
I "Mother'd" (the polish haha) the hell out of an exhaust before, and that was a already a PITA. I can't imagine how rough it was for you. Good job!

Yeah, my fingers are super tired. My forearm is sore. My back hurts. I smelt like exhaust for 4 hours. It was like 150 degrees in the garage.
But...it was worth it. I mean look at that shine! Haha, but I am cheating though. Not ALL the exhaust looks that "new" there are still some spots and discoloration on the muffler and I gave up on 90% of the y-pipe/mid pipe, that crap was going to take 45 hours and I gave up after the 2-2.5 hours on the visible parts.
Out of all, the carbon was the biggest pain, took FOREVER. Easily 30 minutes on each tip non-stop scrubbing scotch-brite.
