View Full Version : cleaning exhaust pipes
jayrob33 09-03-2004, 02:41 PM hey everyone
my exhaust pipes are dirty!!! what is the best way to clean them? soap and a sponge doesn't really work well when i wash the car. is there some other kind of applicator that i can use??
i want the to shine really well, also, i am getting the exhaust finishers installed as well. what can i use on them to get them to shine really good?
also, is it okay to clean inside of the exhaust pipes, in other words if there is something that i can use to make them shine, can i use the same product inside of the pipes and on the tips of the pipes?
any help will be great
thx

RotorWheeee 09-03-2004, 02:48 PM I use a product called "Never Dull" with that it just wipes off with no effort at all inside and out
xxdevilzeroxx 09-03-2004, 09:42 PM hmmmmmm u guys have a good idea with those products. but i tried them all because i work at Pep Boys and all i can tell you is.............USE the Mothers Billet Polish. it comes in a little tub and its about $11.......works way better over anything.....i can bet you on that.....i use it to polish other metals too.....makes it looks like chrome...
Omicron 09-04-2004, 04:57 PM I use Never Dull too - works very well.
Is this good to use on the wheels too?

Twinturbo2800 09-04-2004, 09:21 PM i use Mothers chrome polish.... just put some on, let it dry to a haze, then wipe it off.....
clean every time
ezrider55 09-04-2004, 10:11 PM I use Windex. :cool: Constantly :mad:
xxdevilzeroxx 09-05-2004, 04:03 AM the polish is not supose to haze. you have to constantly rub the metal so it will become polished.......it is not a wax..........and no....its not good for the wheels....if you want to polish your silver rims......use carnuba wax......if you have the chrome set...then you can use the polish
robertdot 09-05-2004, 05:05 AM i've just used plain-old-car soap when i wash the rest of my car. it takes it off. granted, i don't stick my hand inside the tip to clean as far bas as i can, but keeping the exterior of it clean with a brush and soap worked for me.
DOMINION 09-16-2004, 05:19 AM Wow. All I use is water and a rag:confused:. Then agen I clean my car every weekend:D.
RXE16T 09-16-2004, 07:42 AM I use Prepsol to clean my tips.
If that stuff doesn't take any gunk off, nothing will.
abbid 09-16-2004, 10:50 AM where can i get prepsol! i havent cleaned my exhaust since i got the car :D
KrazieKave 09-16-2004, 02:01 PM I use a sponge, and the Mr. Clean Auto Dry soap... It seems to make it shine...
I also wash my car every weekend ;)

Yep, works great.
Speed-ER doc 09-19-2004, 04:45 AM I used to use soap, then the black magic wheel cleaner, but I took your advice on the Never Dull, and I'm sold.
My tips look like new; that stuff is amazing, and amazingly easy. Wow.
Forum comes through again.
beachdog 09-21-2004, 09:44 PM Cast another vote for Never Dull. Been using it for years on every finished and unfinished metal. Added benefit with the tailpipes is that you don't have to ruin another cloth or sponge. Just tear off what you need, clean and discard.
NavyDood 09-22-2004, 09:57 AM I just use the bucket of Z7 water and rag.
I don't polish the tips. I prefer the heated metal colored look vice polished look.
