Read somewhere in here that these should be cleaned periodically. Did so with a towel yesterday, but the chrome is a bit discoloured on the lip where the soot was.

What should I be using?

hello.

i keep referring to this thread for advice about the "smoot" as they call it.

everyone has a variation on how they clean it though so not sure which works best. gonna try the chrome polish stuff tonight myself - it'll be the first time i clean my 8 - got her last weekend!

good luck.

 

I've used Turtle Wax Rim Cleaner to good effect. Just test it on an out of the way area first.

 

Here's my thread from way back in the day here.

I think we've all come to the conclusion that:
a) It can't be prevented

and

b) It wipes off in one swipe with a clean cloth if you keep on top of it every few weeks

"Always thinking!" [Benny Hill]. Learn something really useful almost every time I visit 'The Club'. I tried Meguire's Paint Cleaner, followed that with their polish. 'Gunk/smoot' came off without much rubbing. Thanks everyone for the motivation to get out and do it.

 

I like having my tip polished.

 

Me too!
