The shiny, chrome tailpipes of my Mulsanne Speed are becoming black with what I guess is probably carbon from the exhaust fumes.

Can anyone recommend a way to clean this off please? Soap and water has limited effect and I don't want to use anything too abrasive like a Brillo Pad / Wire Wool in case it scratches and then possibly rusts. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Image below shows early stages, blackening has since worsened

Thanks

I agree Aeroresh, it is pretty bad and the build up has been quite quick. The car gets relatively light use and is only just over 12 months old.

Thanks everyone for your replies, I bought the Autosol yesterday, non-scratch scourers and some fine wire wool (couldn't find 0000 grade but I'm guessing B&Q's "Fine" was the closest thing).

The non-scratch scourers didn't really seem to take much off, I guess mainly due to the build up, I suppose they may work OK with light marking. The wire wool however worked an absolute treat! Pretty much back to new!

Thanks again
