Mothers chrome polish here...

 

I'm using some Blue Magic chrome polish, and while it gets the tips nice and shiny, it soots up relatively quickly. If Nevr Dull reduces that problem, I'd be willing to try it, although I have a feeling our engines just produce that much heat/exhaust.

 

I just got some Nevr Dull - thanks for the tip, it works great. I was able to find it at the Advance Auto Parts near me. Probably more than Wal-Mart, but I'd pay double to be able to avoid that parking lot especially around the holidays!

 

Never Dull, Blue Magic, Mothers polish.. or any other metal polish/cleaner works good.

 

put me down for neverdull as well. It's not a paste, it's some sort of fiber stuff that has a coating that you rub onto metal. It rubs out the grime instantly. You just rip some out of the container and work the exhaust, only takes about 30 seconds to do both, then wipe the exhaust clean with a shop rag.

 

Does it work when your tips turn blue from heat?

 

Man, I used a ton of that sh*t (Nevrdull) in the Navy years ago. Hated using it to shine brightwork then, love using it now.

 

Sounds like you and RX8_MD (post #12) have a similar background here...

 

What's a better choice for polishing chrome wheels? NevrDull or Blue Magic?? Thanks

 

I'm using Blue Magic, but only b/c someone in my family bought the bottle. Everyone here seems to have a fondness for NevrDull, so I would probably go with that. Unless there's something super-magical about it, they all sound like they work similarly, though. G'luck. BTW, welcome to the forum.

 

nevrdull works great on stainless steel tips also helps to keep the from turning that burnished color

 

are you guys talking about inside and outside of the tips or jus the outside....

 

I use Collinite #845 Insulator wax on both the tips (inside and out) and on the rims. It cleans AND protects.

 

Both. It looks sloppy just to clean the outside and not the inside.

 

Someone posted here recently that after cleaning their exhaust tips, inside and out, they followed with a coat or two of the same Zaino protectant they use on their paint.

I haven't tried it but I intend to. Zaino Z-2, Z-3 and Z-5 are very resistant to picking up dirt. Most stuff just slides right off. I've never had a car stay as clean as my Zainoed RX8.

I don't know how it'll withstand the heat, but even if it ignites it'll look pretty cool on the highway!

 

Guys I used Nevr Dull as suggested and while it did remove 90% of the soot on my tips - there were still little spots of soot that it didnt seem to have any affect on. Keep in mind that Im the typeof lazy sonof abitch that lets the soot build up on thetips for months w/o ever properly addressing them w/stuff like Nevr Dull. Could it be that some spots of my tips are just too stained for Nevr Dull to quell or isthere something Im not doing right? Its not reallya big deal b/c finally for once in my cars existence you can see more chrome than soot on the tips - but I was just under the impression that Nevr Dull was going to take care of everything.

 

I use the same stuff and didnt do too much. I let mine set for a long too although I would wash them when i did the car.

 

Can these products also be used on strakes?

 

never dull is what i used in the USMC to clean my brass. good stuff. highly recommend it.

 

Hey guys, because of your suggestions on this product, I decided to give it a go. It's hella cheap so I figure, if it sucked, no big deal. Anyways, I'm quite happy with the results. The pics don't quite do the exhaust justice but regarless, works nicely.

 

I used some Back to Black on the trim today and it looks better than new!

 

Blue, that looks really good. I'm using some Blue Magic stuff, I think is the brand, but am anxious to try NevrDull when I finish my current bottle.
