HELP! Exhaust tips are f*cked!
 
Hi guys, as you can see my exhaust tips are quite nasty looking, turning gold/brown stains...I just want to ask is there any way I can remove those dark brown stains or even restore the silver/chrome color?

I've tried using Never-dull, #0000 steel wool, and chrome polisher so far...

I spent about an hour scrubbing on this side and it seems it's slowly working, but still a lot of dots and marks on it:

This side I haven't done anything to it yet:

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!:tup:

Try this stuff called Blue Magic

Perhaps Adam's Metal Polish 1 & 2 Combo ?

I've not used these, but if it's like anything else that Adam's sells, it'll probably work quite well. And if it doesn't work, you could return it for all of your money + 10% back.

That looks like heat marks. The tips are self burning, kind of like that fake blue burnt look, but in reality. You'd probably have to do a full polish to get it back to normal and more than likely loose the blue in the process. You can get it back though, with a torch.

This is what I use. Works like a charm. However, I'm not too sure how well it will work on your particular exhaust.

Mothers makes a great metal polish but like others have posted about the brand they use, I too have not used it on tip that bad.

With 0000 Steel wool and Mothers I have had a friend take rust off his polished wheels on his 70's Mustang so maybe that combo will work for you

I don't think FI offers that option.

Stainless Steel And Aluminum Metal Polish | CHROME-IT Super Polish

best stuff I have found hands down. with that damage use it in conjuction with something like a drimmel with the buffing wheel.

Blue magic is what I have used for a while now on all of my metal polishing jobs on my cars, try it.
