It's the R word ... Rust!

After shovelling snow outside as I went to put away the shovel I noticed there were some rust spots on the inside of the exhaust tips. Should I be concerned? Any suggestions? This is the first winter for the Z.

No need to be concerned. It's just surface rust which can be cleaned up fairly easily.

Use an SOS pad. It won't scratch the metal.

I use metal polish. Wenol works good cause its for pot and pans and leaves behind a protective coating.
