Exhaust cleaning tips please
As per title. Would like to keep the exhaust shiney and newish looking. Alot of specs of crap bond themselves with the exhaust tips with the heat. Hot soapy water and a sponge hasnt' been quite enough to remove these, so just wondering what else to use that won't scratch it. Would the scoury bit of a washing up sponge be ok? Any products good for removing the baked on crap?

Autosol metal polish and a Dremell with polishing disc are your friend
Avoid over polishing flamed blue tips as the polish will take the exhaust back to its stainless finish

I do have a dremel with a myriad of different tips. But in all honesty, I wouldn't recognise which one is for polishing if it hit me in the face. What does it look like?
I don't have removable tips (greddy SE exhaust), so I would need one almighty dishwasher for that option.

The autosol works very well with a normal cloth, but if you must use a powertool...
I've never used a power tool, it just takes longer to polish the tips up by hand.

So the autosol is a bit abrasive (to remove stuck on grime)? Should I just be very gentle on the burnt tips and etched on writing? I didn't realize the effect could be polished off.
