    Top 5 Exhaust Cleaning Methods:


    -Please Note, this list in not in correlating order. But instead, just listed as 10 guides that happen to be the top 10 we found. *Not from best to worst, or worst to best.

    1. 5000 Grit Sandpaper:

    This stuff is your friend. Don't go any lower or your going to scratch nice metals like stainless steel exhaust tips and such. This stuff works as the same idea as steel wool, but the fine grit sandpaper makes sure that there are no larger scuffs like what steel wool might do to a metal with too much pressure.

    2. Fine Steel Wool:

    Just your basic steel wool. This stuff can be found pretty much any hardware store and even grocery stores too. Although, regular steel wool works, I would advise using fine steel wool if you can find it. A lot of times, people use steel wool at the start of a process too. Usually the steel wool is followed by

    3. Green Scuff Pad With Liquid Mix

    I highly suggest using brake cleaner as you clean it, or somewhat of a strong liquid of this such. These scuff pads really just work as a sanding agent to get rid of the residue on whatever is being cleaned. Works like sandpaper or steel wool. This stuff is a bit gentler than steel wool and it almost depends on what type of cleaner your accessories need to be cleaned with.

    4. Aluminum Mag Polish:

    This stuff takes somewhat of a certain process to do it, but it's real simple and can be found a lot of places. I'm pretty certain that the bottle of the stuff when you buy it, even has the instructions on the side of it. It's pretty hard to mess up, and if you do by chance mess it up NOTHING is hurt.. you just wont get the best results.

    5. Metal Polish:

    This as well has a small process to it, but it really simple. 6speedonline has a pretty good tutorial on this stuff and how to clean exhaust tips. This is the ticket to really getting that shine. This is not what takes out the old residue and such, but what makes it shine after the whole cleaning process. Like I said, that guide is an ultimate guide to cleaning this type of stuff. Cleaning this stuff is why we use stainless steel exhaust tips, because they look absolutely amazing when clean.
