Cleaning stock exhaust tips

07_SKY_RL · 03-21-2007, 11:33 PM

Posted in the red line forum - I don't know if the standard roadster has the same tips...

Noticed while crawling under the car that the exhaust tips appear to be some sort of casting welded onto the ends of the tailpipes.

The insides of mine are black.

Since I bought my Sky used, I don't know how they came from the factory, but I assume they were cleaner than mine are now.

What should they look like, and anyone have any special tips/hints for cleaning them (and shining, if possible)?

The exhaust tips are polished aluminum. They clean up really nice with SemiChrome or Mothers aluminum polish.

I just use a waxing pad and some cheap wax. Takes the black right off my GXP. I then wax the pipes as well, keeps the soot from being able to stick as well to the piping for better cleaning next time.
