Cleaned my Exhaust tips
So this is my first DIY here on S2ki..yes its really obvious but I thought I'd give it a shot for fun. THe goal here was to clean the exhaust tips of my car off. There were looking rather faded / had NEVER been polished.
Here is a finished picture next to a dirty one! YUCK!
You'll need
Eagle one Polish
Dawn Dish soap
10 mm socket and wrench
Que tips
some paper towels.
Here is what they looked like when I started.
The exhaust tips are purely cosmetic on the OEM muffler so they come off with a single bolt (10mm)
First I washed them under hot water with some dawn.
I used a que tip to get into the inner ring. SUPER DIRTY!!
Next I used the Eagle one chrome polish.
Inside there is a wad of what looks like stringy material.
Tear a piece off and polish lengthwise till the tip is nice and coated.
Next wipe clean. I used a microfiber cloth to make sure I didn't scratch up the metal.
All done! Here is a pic of a clean polished tip next to a dirty one. Big difference.
And finally a close up of that once dirty inner ring.
Installation is the reverse of removal!
Goodluck!

Careful that stuff can etch metal depending on how it reacts with the buildup on the tips.
I did the same dish soap/Never Dull treatment on mine. That stuff is awesome.
