I'm sick of looking at a black tipped tailpipe and wanted to clean/polish it so that it looks the way it did when I first bought it. Any tips or methods on doing this?

They sell those brass/metal surface cleaners at Longs or other places, I think those might work pretty well. Me and my friend were polishing my intercooler pipes the night before the car cruise, I'll have to ask him what we used because I forget what it is

 

I use mothers aluminum/mag polish with micro fiber cloth.. Polish your stock bypass valve too.

 

Thats what I use!

 

+1 for Mothers

 

+2 on that product.. Used it all the time on my rice fart can back in my honda days.. Loved that mothers smell!! But now that Im a silent sedan, I have no use for it..

 

How would one clean off, say, chunks of melted rear bumper plastic? Totally a hypothetical question, I don't have chunks on my exhaust... I swear

 

i say use eagle one wading polish it works wonders!! its the one that comes in the silver can.... a little bit goes a long way too!!

 

Yeah, I would use some WD-40 and a bit of elbow grease with a terry towel...
I just went through this...took me about 30min to get some nice sized plastic/paint off my tip...works though.

Since the paint/plastic is oil based, and so are most penetrating oils...it acts as a solvent and eventually enables you to remove the gunk from your tip.

 

step 1. get yourself a can of mothers polish, a microfiber towel a dremel
with polishing tip and a case of diet coke.

step 2. call justin

step 3. give said diet coke to justin, sit back and watch him OCD.


but seriously mothers and a dremmel will do wonders. exhausts can be tricky tho and those water spots on mine wont come off.

 

mmhmm that stuff works wonders. Also takes off the yellow junk on headlights.

 

classic mike i needed a nice laugh this morning!!! but hey have you guys even tried eagle one wading polish??? for some reason imo its a one step, easier than anything else product...... i used to use mothers then i tried the wading polish...... and on my supermoto it works sooo good makes my pipe look better than brand new it even remove all the nuts water spots with just a little rub and tug lol!! nah but fo real

 

Use Brasso!

 

where can I get some in Hawaii or are you offering to send me some =)

Oh BTW, when are you coming home? Any news of the new arrival?

I sent you pictures the other day. I have been too busy to plan anything. I'm out of vacation from taking a week and a half for my son's birth. I got told yesterday I have to fly to Charleston for a 1 day meeting. You can get Brasso at Wal-mart or anywhere else. It works great for polishing metal.
