    How would you clean/protect a matte exhaust?

    How would you clean/protect a matte exhaust?-12437aaf-f5c3-4b3a-bc46-b3be47db521a-jpgMy new BMW X2 uses a color for a lot of the lower parts of the car called cerium gray. It’s basically a paint every place but the exhaust, and the exhaust have been plated with a matte colored treatment. What would you suggest I use to protect them and make them easy to clean? I have some Cquk, Thinking about using That. I also have some mothers metal polish but I’m a little worried about polishing a matte surface. This is the exterior of a double walled pipe, so I don’t think it gets terribly hot.

    Since that is the case; and going forward:
    products such as these will really help in
    the maintenance arena, IMO.
