In the four months since i purchased the car, I had not hand washed it...until Sunday - too cold, too busy, too many huge life changes. Well, the exhaust tips where more than dirty, and no amount of soap would clean them. So, I worked them for a bit...huge positive step in the right direction, and I think I can get more shine with more elbow grease

What a change!!

 

Well done. There is something very satisfying about hand polishing metal.

 

now for the rest of the car??

 

Looks good!
