I just thought it might be interesting to see how many MINI owners completely polish their tail pipe, inside and out, of soot verse those who clean only the outside and leave the inside all natural.

 

Oh, man, depending on your girth ...

 

leave it..... only because my tips you cant really see the outside,

Clean inside and out every week. Just part of the routine.

 

Y clean the inside? I wash my car everyday but even that sounds crazy...

 

My first-gen R53 produces plenty of soot, so I got sick of it after many years, and painted the tips black, and now it doesn't bother me anymore!

(But then again, black is my car's accent color; the wheels, roof, mirrors are black).

 

I do clean them but not every week. Spray a little WD40 on a rag or paper towel and they look like new.

I mostly use Griot's products and when I wash the car I don't wash under the hood every time. Time limited, so I vary what gets cleaned. I do keep the inside immaculate.

I keep the inside of the car clean, but not the inside of the tail pipes.

 

I plastidipped mine. I clean my car religiously but havent had to touch the tips in the year since I did it.

 

It can withstand that much heat?

 

I wouldnt put it any further up stream but for the tips its been perfect. I havent even had to touch it up at all. It blends the tips in nicely with the black trim on the bottom of the bumper.

 

Crazy, no. That just sounds like Mr. T.

 

You know something Mr. T...
