Clean Exhaust

Clean Exhaust
Hi,
I'm having real trouble getting some black residue off the inside of my exhaust. It's really stubborn round the tip at the bottom and just inside. I've been using Autoglym metal polish with a pan scourer / sponge thing, that the mrs uses to clean non stick pans.
Is Autosol any stronger, or can you recommend anything else?
Cheers

What you need is some fine wire wool and autosoul. Trust me. It does not scratch the exhaust at all. After, you have got to the level of shininess you require, Then followup using megs NXT metal paste with an applicator pad. Then stand back and admire.

Try this:
1000G wet and dry paper then follow up with 2000G wet and dry, thats how you get it "proper clean"
This is one we done that way on the out side (2000-3000), i hope whos car it is dont mind i know hes a member
Its really is good for cleaning up badly corroded or baked tail pipes,

i start with megs super degreaser (cut to 4-1) and a tooth brush. spray some on and let it soak while you wash the rest of the car. then any bits that done come off i go to mothers mag and aluminium polish on the tooth brush. this stuff eclipses autosol and all other metal polishes i've tried.
if that doesn't work then i'll go to 3000g wet and dry paper with the polish. once i'm happy i'll polish up using the mag and alu polish on a microfibre.

Thanks guys both look great. more tips and tool advice priceless half the time I already have the products just never think about using them in that way.
that’s why I get some angry when people keep posting questions in the general chat area such a waste when there are so many great guys on here that are always so quick at posting advice and help
Thanks again

...and once you've cleaned it, you can use this to keep it looking good, and minimise the amount of polishing required in the future...
