New vw heavy exhaust soot/blacking
Discussion
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
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](/inc/images/wink.gif)

It's completely normal OP - I just leave mine black as I can't be bothered to keep cleaning them.
Also, unless you do a significant amount of motorway driving, the right tip will be less sooted than the left because of the way the valved exhaust system works - this being most notable on the new 4-pot VAG cars with 4 exhausts where the inner tip on each side is less sooted than the outer one.
Nice car by the way!

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.
You shouldn't need anything abrasive , wire wool if its really bad and hasnt been cleaned for years
I use these polishes , the green one if its really bad then the white one but usually the white one is sufficient , used with a microfibre
