Hey folks, I have a new scirocco r which is doing some heavy blacking on the exhaust tips yet I have only done 500 miles in it. Not sure if this is normal confused and as for the fuel I am currently running on v power nitro 99

can anyone help? Also if this is normal, some good cleaning product suggestions would be great wink

Great stuff. Hearing good things about autosol from several sources so I've ordered some. Consider it sorted!

So after some sound advice, I got wd40 with a brillo sponge style pad and sprayed down the exhausts then gave them a good scrub. Then I used autosol metal polish with a microfiber cloth, Light application and wiped down the remaining marks. This left a high shine and some very clean exhaust pipes! Would recommend this method as it seems to have worked a treat. I'm guessing wire wool would be for heaver soiled exhausts. Thanks.
