there's some weird black build up on my tailpipe. Not sure what it is, but need solution to get it off. Any ideas? I've only had it for about a week, so it's not that built up, but tried using some turtle wax chrome polish, but that didn't work. Maybe i just needed more elbow grease?

 

um...is it deposits from combustion? The MINI engine runs a bit rich, so you'll see traces of combustion on the exhaust pipes. I scrub hard to remove it, and then use some chrome/metal polish on it. That usually makes it easier to clean. I think I explained it right?

 

seems so. I'll try scrubbing it harder to see what the results are.

 

I keep a tin of NeverDull wadding handy and wipe off the tail pipes weekly. It's fast and easy.

Get it at AutoZone, WalMart, etc. $4.

 

so I tried a few things..... car soap, window cleaner, and ..... spit

but I wasn't able to get all of it. I'm going to try to get the Never dull stuff.

 

That soot on the tailpipe is normal, mataku. Meguiar's makes a great product, "Gold Class All Metal Restorer," which will easily remove the soot. Very affordable and a very good product! Give it a try!

well, I got the EAgle one NEVER Dull stuff today from walmart, and


BAM! it came right off. Very cool and useful, I definitely recommend it to anyone else looking for a good chrome cleaner and polish.

 

Thanks for the recommendation (note the video on their site as well). I'll try anything at that price even if I don't need it! :D I'll pick some up for my tailpipes and driving lights the next time I go grocery shopping for my MINI. :D

 

does never dull come with an applicator? if not, what should i use?

 

No applicator needed. Just grab a small wad out of the can and rub directly on the chrome.

It get's your fingers dirty but what the heck..it works!
