Recently I've noticed black soot in my tail pipes. It used to be clean metal. Any ide

Car has 5700 miles. 2013. I do notice as I wash it every two weeks so this must have started in the last month or so.

My wife has backed it out recently when I'm not home to move trash cans and then pulled it back in after letting it idle a bit. Could that be it?

It's perfectly normal, And pretty easy to remove with Mother's metal polish or Never-Dull.

I've learned to wash the car and regularly check the exhausts for periodic cleaning and polish.

+1 on the never-dull

Simple green is my favorite. Any all-purpose cleaner will do the trick!

never dull does wonders, especially if you aren't running cats on the car. That stuff is amazing at polishing everything up!

I need to polish my exhaust may have to try never dull. Amazon prime has it for like 7 bucks shipped.
