    Re: Exhaust tips

    I use one of these for the inside of the exhaust (and if there’s enough room around it then the outside too).

    Re: Exhaust tips

    I start with my ez-detail rim brush and use my wheel cleaner for the inside of the exaust tip. Once that has been done, it should be clean but covered in carbon. From there, I use super fine steel wool (0000) with the wheel cleaner and I can usually remove all the carbon in a minute or two of scrubbing. If not, I take my polishing cone on the drill and put some metal polish on it (either Mother's or Flitz) and go to town on the inside. Should take only a minute or two.

    Once all of that is done, I use the metal polish to clean out the exterior crome and call it a day. Expect to spent about 10 to 15 minutes per tip.

    -Wheel barrels
    -Wheel wells
    -Exterior trim
    -Windshield cowl

    It’s things like this that stand out if and when I happen to see a car at the gas station or driving on alongside the street that I can immediately tell it’s been professionally detailed... I’ve actually run into vehicles I’ve detailed numerous times and I always notice the detail seconds before I recognize the car! Lol. It’s a good feeling to see a perfect looking vehicle driving along and knowing you’re the 1 who made it look so good.Exhaust tips
    You mean you use this Brown Royal Wheel Cleaner on all these surfaces Eldo?

    Re: Exhaust tips

    Here is the before, I will show the after. Today I detailed the engine bay, the interior, wheels and wheel wells, chemical decon on the paint, wash and clayed the paint. Tomorrow I will polish the paint. I have some scratches on the T tops, I am hoping they polish out. Any ideas welcome as usual. The car is in pretty good shape already. The owner has been having a local detail shop do it for her once a year. Their work is terrible. I'm sure most of what I am doing has never been done before.

    Re: Exhaust tips

    I use the Ball Buster polisher from Chemical Guys along with either their Light or Heavy Metal polish and it does a great job on exhaust tips. I use an old wheel brush to scrub the insides of the tips.
