All four exhaust tips on my car have gone from nice shiny chrome, to a dark black. Washing no longer gets much if it off, especially the two tips that get used the most, but all are bad.

Is there a product that removes it? Tried some silver polish we had and it did nothing!

Thanks!

Spray (or dab) some tar remover on first.

Then 0000 wire wool with a metal polish.

Remove with mf.

Follow with pad and more metal polish.

Depends how bad they are.

Might want to invest in a buffing ball for a drill to help speed it up over elbow grease.

I tried Brasso on mine - had a tin lying around anyway. Works a treat & costs next to nothing.

£2.94? You squanderer!! I imagine Autosol is the best tool for the job to be fair. I just tried the Brasso as it was in the garage anyway, but worth knowing I suppose.

I mostly use it to polish up the end of my bell wink
