Cleaning Boxster S exhaust

[kingston12]

I have got a 2005 Boxster S with the standard twin exhaust tip.

I can't seem to get it clean! I have tried Autosol and very fine gauge wire wool, but the inside stays quite stained.

What does everybody else use?

The wife.

For the incar noise or to clean the exhaust?

She's not allowed in the car when I'm driving, so just the exhaust.

I like to treat her now and again.

Is this the brushed stainless one..? If so, I used to use some autoglym super resin polish applied with one of those dish/pan scourers, sponge one side and scourer the other.. use the scourer side with lots of polish and rub well, with lots of elbow grease.. I found after a while and a few repeats, I got a pretty good result.. the cleaning agents in the polish help remove the heated on cak..

Not sure SRP is gonna work if Autosol didn't. Maybe a dremel?

Aye, on reflection, you're probably right there....

I first tried the SRP/scourer solution having been told about it by the detailer that did the cars at my (then) local OPC.. Have to say it worked a treat for me but, you're right, it perhaps does not really offer anything better that Autosol..

I use some of this on some kitchen towel...

You seriously clean the inside of the exhaust tips? Wow, that is a proper cleaning regime. I'm pleased with myself if I get round to wiping the dead flies off the front number plate.
