Tips Cleaning chrome exhaust tips and aluminum trim

[04lss]

Hi All,

I am the happy owner of a new to me 2014 Audi s4 with the ALU optics package (aluminum interior trim, and mirror covers). It also has some fairly dirty chrome exhaust tips

I have never had aluminum trim before. Ive been slowly detailing the interior of the car. I started with the leather using Wolfgang cleaner and then conditioner. Im now gowing over the non leather surfaces with Blackfire interior cleaner. Is there anything special i should be doing/not doing here?

As for the chrome exhaust tips, Should i just go at them with normal car soap, or is there a product i really should be using like chrome polish?

If your anal like most of us here..use a chrome polish. Never Dull roll pads are another good option. If they are really bad, 0000 steel wool and Mother's chrome polish will clean it up.

I am definitely anal. I watch detailing videos on youtube and get annoyed if i can still see any specs of dirt in the carpet. (even if the car was a barn fire before the guy started)
What is a good Milder polish?

For paint or for your exhaust tips?

Sorry, for the exhaust. I typically go with meguiars 205 for paint. (though im open to suggestions)

Mother's chrome polish would be my choice.

Another vote for Never Dull on the exhaust tips. Just tear off a chunk and have at it. It doesn't get any easier than that.

I use a drill adaptor, many options. Never dull and simichrome are my go to.

Collinite #850 Metal Wax is another excellent option.

I've used P21S Polishing Soap on a couple of different exhaust tips with excellent results.

P21S Polishing Soap for me too.

They’re talking about the Eagle One Nevr Dull.

They’re talking about the Eagle One Nevr Dull.

Thanks!

I ordered the nevr dull because im in the middle of moving, and it seems like an easy thing to use without needing other supplies.
