Need a product to clean dirty exhaust tips!

[BMW335i]

I need a product which can get the soot off the tips of my pipes. I have a turbo car so the soot tends to build up faster, and is also harder to remove. I don`t want to polish the pipes to a chrome finish, because they have a flat aluminum look. I just want to remove the gunk...any ideas?



I tried ONR with an MF...doesn`t seem to fit the bill. Need something stronger.



I saw Mothers Aluminum polish at Wal-Mart the other day. Was curious if this would be good for the job.

Have you tried just washing with regular car wash solution; and really scrub them down with a brush of some sort. If so I think I would try a simple green/water mixture to see what happens. I have the same thing happen to me on my LSX.



Sorry my spelling is really off right now. 1:30 in the morning here and I just got done studying for the psych. test that is in less than 8hrs now.

Or try a real fine steel wool dipped in soapy water, and then polish after

Try P21S Polishing soap - also works very well

........I don`t want to polish the pipes to a chrome finish, because they have a flat aluminum look.....................Try gently using a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, or as previously mentioned, some 0000 steel wool. Use either one with your ONR or wash solution.
