Forced Induction and exhaust tips
I have a little over 4k miles going catless and boost. My F.I. TDX exhast are no longer shiny. I scrubbed and scrubbed but the tips remain dull, mayhaps even grey. Anyone else have this problem? Did you try buffing it out with some polishing compound? I'm thinking I might try and buff it with some compound and a drill with cloth ball the next time I get the car up in the air.

There is a polishing compound from Eagle that will shine almost anything. I have that issue from salted roads during winter and clean it with that compound and it works great

Mother's with some "elbow grease" works great.....apply every other week to keep the "elbow grease" to a minimum.
