Cleaning twin exhaust

[raymondbreen]

Hi Guys,

Whats the easiest way to clean the exhaust as its black as the ace of spades after a few k of soot blowing through it

Original T-cut.

It's the same compound as the old chrome cleaner that you could get. It's abrasive enough to get the dirt off, but gentle enough not to damage the chrome plating.

autosol or even peak paste, either which you will get from your local halfords etc:

Weekly cleaning with soap and water.

 

[raymondbreen]

Cheers guys, I will check out halfords at the weekend

 

[sssstew]

yep, autosol or autoglym metal polish.

Mine has been fine and now has 22k on it. Only get's washed every 600 mile...

Tempted by the T-Cut idea though to see if it makes a difference. Can't justify buying a chrome cleaner as it's ok.

 

[TheOtherSimon]

T-cut IS chrome cleaner. It's the same stuff.

And it's much cheaper than the alternatives.

Used Duraglit on mine and you can see your face in the shine it has left.

I use wonder wheels fantastic stuff!! it comes up sparkling like nothing you have seen! oh and the Alloys!! lol
But as said once a week with soapy water and a spounge brings it all off, its when you let it get bad you need some strong cleaners like the WonderWheels

heh I aint cleaned them since i got the car lol..and its done 44k, as i do around 500 miles per week give or take. I will have a bash at the weekend

Gave autoglym metal polish a good go on my old powerflow twin pipes and it came up well. And they were as BLACK as anything... Hope to keep the new exhaust pipe looking a bit better with more regular polishing.

Oo err missus.

Tried TCut this weekend. Silver colour restorer as that's all I had. Works great. Got the little patches off that had baked on.

Well i got some tcut metal cleaner from halfords and after an hour or two down on my knees, i have got rid of most of the crap on the exhaust, but am finding it nearly impossible to shift.

Any other recommendations to shift it?
