TAIL PIPES

[hot metal]

Does anyone have a problem cleaning their stainless pipes? What i mean is my wife came across me polishing them one day and said "ooer i can tell youve done that before" another time a couple of school girls sniggered whilst passing by and im sure the late 40ish woman across the road peers at me strangely from behind her net curtains.Am I just paranoid now ,Ive taken to doing it in the garage , cleaning the tailpipes that is

I've always got funny looks from the neighbours for the amount of time I spend cleaning and polishing the car, regardless of which part it may be

I just always get funny looks from the neighbours...

Never found the need to polish my tail pipes - as its a stainless standard exhaust there shouldn't be a need !!

You know what I mean ,just cleaning em ,they do get dirty.

My neighbours are probably thinking "when is he going to actually drive that car" 3 years after the restoration started...

Apart from giving them a wipe with the wheel cleaning water, is there any thing else I should be doing to my tail pipes I'm not doing then .

They get exhaust film around the end. I use Solvol Autosol to shift it.
