hey i was just wondering i have a stainless dual exhaust with 14" chrome tips i was just wondering what you all do to keep your expensive exhaust looking good cos here in ct this time of year its tough because of all the sand and salt still on the roads thanks guys

If the tips are chrome they will eventually go to hell on you, but if they are stainless, I recommend that you look into a mothers power ball mini. I use it on mine and I love it.

i think they are stainless actually ty cos they came with the magnaflow stainless kit so im assuming the tips are too

I have the same problem with my tips too. Even on my last system, being stainless doesn't mean that it doesn't require work to keep them looking good, as I had hoped. I just left my last exhaust tarnish, but these need to be cleaned, so I guess mothers or some mild rubbing compound may be what I'll have to get too. It probably wouldn't hurt to give them a couple coats of wax after cleaning to keep some of the junk from accumulating again too.

sounds crazy but aluminum foil and water works great

If you have a weekly cleaning regiment, polish the tips weekly with Meguiars Mag and Aluminum Polish. This polish will work wonders. It is also easy to use. Adams Metal Polish is also a great product. Use the polish via the directions on the tub, and use a 100% Cotton Terry Towel. I also put two coats of Poorboys World Wheel Sealant on them. It adds a layer of protection.

If they are not mirror polished already, and you would like them that way, send me a PM, I would be happy to guide you along the process.

I use Wenol metal polishes on my tips, I have recently been turned onto a product called Blingmaster ( I know, the name is kinda stupid ) I look forward to trying it and giving you guys an update.
