Pictures Today I self-washed my whole car , cleaned out the interior and got my summer tires put on. Phase 2 is detailing the engine , and somehow cleaning my exaust pipes. Posted pic for posterity: So does anyone have any recommendations for shining up the exaust?

Use Eagle1's NeverDull product. That stuff OWNS. 5 minutes and my really nasty tips where just SHINING. like new! It's sold at walmart in a silver tin can kind of thingy in the automotive section. Best $3.98 I've ever spent for cleaning products.

You should scrub out the corners of the wheels first.

We're due for snow next week .....  It's pointless cleaning the car.

In my 2 yr detailing experience I would use wheel acid to clean those wheels and exhaust pipes spotless and quickly. Just be careful when yo use this stuff though.

We have too much pollen flying around here right now to even bother with that right now, but I did get the sandpaper and plastic polish to do my headlight covers.
