How do you guys clean your GT OEM exhaust tips (the stainless ones) ?

Mine are turning brown now !

Thanks

 

Mine as well......

 

SOS Soap Pads......

 

Will the SOS pad scratch the finish?

 

I wonder what type of SS they are T-304 should not turn brown, so obviously it's a lesser grade. I personally would not use a SOS pads. First try a common mild scratch removal(Meguiars)... If that does't work, then maybe a metal cleaner.

 

Neverdull or Mcguires mag pollish(dont use either on the wheels though)

 

you waited till they turned brown to ask this question? mine are never dirty, try using a rag and a little car wash soap, if that doesnt work try noxom, availible anywhere cleans any metal

 

I've always used the Meguairs Cleaner polish on the tips.No straches and they buff right up.Just wash them first,apply the polish until it becomes transparent,then buff. Eazy weezy

Use -00-very fine steel wool,use window wash for a lubricant-wash then scrub up.I used to use this steel wool on dingy glass on older cars that had been sittng for years.It would never scratch the glass.

 

Any kind of mild abrasive will help...personally I use chrome polish on mine and it works great.

 

It's T-409, if I recall correctly. I've seen polished T-304 turn brown though.

 

Use An Sos Pad......it Will Work Great

 

I just use foaming glass cleaner on mine. Takes the exhaust stain right off and does not scratch the SS. Oops, mine are not OEM. Never mind.

 

Buy an aftermarket exhuast then you can just use a chrome polish. Or just buy some chrome covers from fordaccessories.

 

just use any chrome cleaner and very fine steel wool should do the trick

 

I made the mistake of using very fine sandpaper(8oo)and it ruined the finish on my FRPP's. So i would say just use metal polish

 

They're stainless......and they're exhaust pipes. You're not gonna hurt anything by using SOS soap pads, it's not like we're talking about a painted finish.

 

I just wipe them down w/a soft towel. But I will get some crome tips from the Ford dealer.

 

Boltzman... I got my attention... why did you use sandpaper? I noticed that on the inside of my Stingers, close to the tips, they have a bronze tint. Wonder why ? My Flows were not like that.... they're brand new! Can this discoloration be removed?

 

So it's winter and I haven't stayed on top of keeping the Stinger's tips clean so they have a good deal of black soot on them. Is the consenus here that SOS pads are safe or not? I'm fairly sure soap alone isn't gonna cut it at this point.

 

my flowmaster axle backs turned brown at the bottom of the lip and i used a sos pad lightly and came out perfect i tried everything else and dident work
