Cleaning the exhausts

[Massos270]

Hi, <br><br>This is the first time I have owned a car where I care about getting the exhausts looking clean <img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" />. They do get quite sooty. Can anybody recommend what i should use to clean them? <br><br>Thanks.<br>

I've used Autoglym Metal polish on all of my exhausts and it works a treat. You can probably even use the Engine Cleaner as well, though I've not tried.<div><br></div><div>http://www.autoglym.com/products/products/metal-polish</div><div><br></div><div>http://www.autoglym.com/products/products/engine-and-machine-cleaner</div>

Try Autosol. Been using it for years with no problems. Around a fiver per tube but lasts for ages.<div><br><div><br></div></div>

Just given mine it's first clean and the only thing I had to hand for the exhaust was Duraglit silver polish, worked a treat!<br />Steve.

It's not at all sad if it makes us happy. <img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> <edited><editID>steveh</editID><editDate>2016-04-27 12:55:16</editDate></edited>

Personally I think they look fantastic, even although everyone goes thats sad..they do say those exhausts look awesome

I don't use any polishes but I always have my exhaust clean, still has that nice shine when I wipe off the black sooty stuff. <div>The exhaust pipes are just the DBs, can't think of any other sports car with good looking exhaust.</div>

Autosol is also really good for cleaning stainless steel kitchen sinks <img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Stick some Gtechniq C5 on your exhaust tips and you'll never need to polish them again... Any black deposits will just wash off easily <img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/smileys/smiley20.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Many car products are great around the house, glass cleaner and rainex for shower screens, autosol for sinks, wheel brush for tall vases etc... helps to justify the purchases <img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" /><br /><br />I did draw the line at using my DA for floor polishing, bought a cheap halfrauds one for that <img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
