I know this is silly question - anyone got tip on the best cleaner to use to clear carbon off the exhaust? I have used Brasso and Chrome Cleaner, there is still marks and cant get that Gleaming finish!

I used wonder wheels on my twin pipes ..

Brush it on as you do with the alloys and then get some wire wool and rub it in..

Rinse with water and then shine up with some polish ..

Thanks - what wire wool? As Im nervous so not to scratch the pipes and cause damage. Ive heard that toothpaste works, cant see how this is done?

Sorry i meant use the wire wool on the inside lip of the pipes where it has the most carbon/soot build up ..

Let us know how you get on
