Does anyone else actually wash their exhaust?
 
Or is it just me that spends 10 mins washing it, then buffing it with t cut for 5 mins ?

Only reason im mentioning it is because about 3 people walked past as I was washing it and 2 of them gave me dodgey looks and the other asked if I always clean the exhaust

Am I just a sad act?

Yes, Always wash it over with a sponge, and give it a quick once over with autobrite metal polish once a month, (polishing is done in the garage though !!)

Nothing wrong with polishing your tip every time you wash.

wouldnt think anyone polishes or washes the inside of it, sure the carbon build ups up all the time, maybe im wrong :)

When you've got almost a grands worth of zorst hiding under your motor u gotta let people know about it!

powerman1 29 December 2006 08:00 PM

Whats the point in buying and installing a nice shiny exhaust just to let it get mucky and less visible.Keep it shiny and when you look in your rear veiw mirror at the traffic lights watch the cars occupants behind you have a good gawp

i do wash inside the pipe, its a 5" exit, so is pretty big,the carbon build up isnt too bad,so cleans off nicely after 2 mths or so.

wrx_yank 29 December 2006 09:48 PM

i wash it with the car... nothing special

beef-on-the-bone 29 December 2006 09:53 PM

on most scoobs it's big enough that you have to wash it as it's pretty noticeable!!

sarasquares 29 December 2006 09:53 PM

mine isn't shiny and being 5" it doesn't get very dirty but i have found it full of mud a few times, it acts like a pastry cutter in the muddy bank when i have turned around up a lane :D

Dazza01 29 December 2006 10:05 PM

i actually put my car on ramps so i could get under to clean the zorst :D 5 minutes after starting my mobile rang and it was tracking saying that they have had an activation from my unit and wanted to know if i knew where thew car was ? so i told them its about 4 inch's above my nose as im under it cleaning the zorst, the lady on the line laughed and said ok sir no problem :D:D:D
