How to remove soot from exhaust?
 

Whats the best cleaning agent to remove soot from the exhaust tips without damaging the finsh?

All-wheel cleaner and a nylon brush.

I use water and a cloth to remove soot.
I also use English Custom Chrome Polish and hot environment polish to remove any oxidation

yea i would think that enough water and elbow grease would do it but it doesnt. What about mineral spirits? Would that hurt anything?

You could start to Pre-Mix and not have to deal with the soot anymore. A title only search for premix will return a few days worth of interesting reading.

nevr-dull. Many people on here use it. I always have a can of it. it works great.

fuel injector cleaner every 3-4 oil changes keep my soot away
clean it up once and give it a coat of wax. any soot comes off with just a quick swipe for me.

+1 for Nevr Dull. Amazing stuff, can be used for other things, and reasonably priced.

I have been using Eagle one Nano_Polish with anticorrosion for about two years and had no problem since. Been working good for me.

Eagle One - Never dull wadding.

I just used it on an exhaust tip for a 10 yr old car thats exhaust was black with crap. Looks like new now.

Meguires metal polish works well.:)

i'd prefer not to disclose my personal method, but needless to say it tastes delicious

You lick your exhaust?:spank:

the myth busters said soda works great

yeah, nevr dull works well.

right now i don't even clean my tips. damn coffee can ti tips have nothing to clean.

Turtle Wax
 

I use Turtle Wax chrome polish. It's cheap, removes the carbon crud, and makes those exhaust tips really shine!

I've never been a huge fan of Never Dull, myself.

I LOVE Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish. It took the 4-year-old, black, exhaust tips on my RX-8 and with some elbow grease made them look brand new. Hell, I bet you could turn your child's head chrome with this stuff if you polish at it enough! :lol2:

Mr Clean's Magic Eraser and water if it's just soot.

English Custom Polish.

I use autoglym metal polish, amazing stuff

the black soot should come off with almost anything.

It's wheter you want it to be chrome or Gold.

I guess there is no way to get rid of the discoulouration from heat on my TI tips?

Ah... you may get rid of it for awhile, but eventually the metal will turn permantly due to the thickness of the metal and it properties.

+1

I want to go for the chrome look whats the best product?
