Nasty Exhaust Tips? Tips on cleaning your Tips..pics within!
Alrighty, i wiped down the whole car today, as usual, and i noticed my exh tips were not a highlight on the car...since i know these come polished from the factory, i set out to find something that would work..
WELL I did...
CLR Metal Polish, worked in with SOS pads..that did the trick! and WELL!!!
Left side tip done, pics dont do it justice, but u can tell
UNCLEAN!!!
thats lookin much better
Pretty shiney eh? I went a step further
Hi-temp Clear Coat..first coat..
Very impressed with the results
Sittin pretty.

Hey let us know if it holds up in the long run. I did the same thing using bare metal clearcoat, and my tips corroded right through the clearcoat, as if i hadn't done a thing.

Looks good- Sharp!
Question though, does the SSE have polished tips like those? Mine are black, I can't tell if it'* from neglect or if the SSE'* had black-finish and not polished tips.
