rear bumper exhaust stains
Any body else have problems with their rear bumpers getting discolored because of the exhaust? Its really noticeable on my pearl white. Every 2 weeks or so I have to polish out the bottom portions of my bumper because they're all stained brown. Only thing I can think of to stop it is maybe put a cat back in somewhere in the exhaust.

That's why so many pw owners get a diffuser or paint that section black.

Got LTH's with no cats. I use wheel cleaner for painted rims to wash off the stain.

Glad I'm not the only one w/ dirty butt. I have a carbon diffuser covering up the lower section but the rest of the lower bumper gets brown stained bad....almost makes me want to put cats back in :P

Junkman may have some tips on how to clean and prevent the staining.

I've tried Sonax polymer net shield, Adams quick sealant, Adams Liquid Paint Sealant, NanoSkin sealant...couple waxes. Nothing prevents the browning. I always have to polish the brown out with a polish either by hand or porter cable. I'll take some pics to better show what I'm talking about.

Use the stuff for painted wheels. Won't harm the paint.

Mild dish detergent, microfiber cloth and elbow grease.. Does the trick every time (;
BTW theres no sealant or wax that will stop the browning.. Ive found that the browning is actually absorbed more when there is plenty of wax on my bumper, but I still want that layer of protection from the wax there..
