Hi, I have a 2003 Toyota matrix and it has a full SS exaust system (the only thing is i`m not sure about the exaust tip, this could be crome plated).
Anyhow, 3-4 days after delivery, the tip started to rust slightly (so far it`s only surface rust). Somebody suggested that I use a little bit of steel wool and windex to take off the rust. The only problem is that it will come back.
Now, I`m curious how hot the exaust tip gets during normal driving? after I scrub off all the rust, can I wax the tip to stop it from rusting again or will I just end up with a mess of melted/burned wax the first time I drive the car? I was thinking of using some pure canuba wax (either mothers or mequires that i have on hand).
