Default Pictures Request - s2ks with test pipes on !

Can you guys post some pics of your cars (with TP installed ) after running few days without washing. I want to have an idea what I'm going in to installing TP in GPW.
What products do you use to clean that carbon off.

Thanks

i dont have gpw, but can tell you that the solution is:

1. several coats of protectant at the rear

2. dust, and detail spray frequently - gotta keep it looking clean

3. once its stained, its a clay or polish solution depending on how long its been on the paint.

ap1's also burn oil and it's normal.

on my ap2 w/ oem exhaust, the tips get dirty but never the paint.

most likely because i'm a wacko who washes his car too often for any buildup to be noticable
