Exhaust cleaning

Hi

What product do you recommend on Amazon to clean the exhaust pipes. To remove the black sludge and make it shine again?

I ended up using VHT Matte black on the inside of the tips

I use a Makita 18V cordless drill and Mequiars yellow foam cone. I started using Carpro Essence as the polish, works great and puts a thin coat of Silica on the insides of the tips, easy to clean. I only do this a few times a year at most, I clean in between with some Echo20/Reload QD mixture inside and outside of tips...just need a good cone cleaner to keep the foam cone clean, I found the Mequiars one in a discount store by me for .99 a bottle, bought 10 bottles so I am good for many years to come.

Steel wool

Polish

You can use a rag, you can buy the cheap cotton drill polish pads or you can go the expensive route and buy a Mothers cone.

My tips are ceramic coated and I use detail spray and a microfiber to clean them.

You can find cheap generic cones on ebay/amazon that do a fine job on any drill with any polish.
