Used the exact same sponge and Lime Away and it worked beautifully! I just bought a used dual exhaust BMW, tips were black and looked never cleaned, this took 5min, they look new!
Get the powdered Bar Keeper's Friend. I have a 2020 GTI. I just cleaned the tips for the first time. I take care of the car, moddify it, regular wash and dry, etc etc etc., but I don't mind dirty tips. It shows that it's well used in my personal opinion. It took me less than 15 minutes to gather the supplies, unroll the hose, clean my tips, clean up, and get back here to share. The look brand new. Anyhow, I love BKF. I saw the stuff being used and immediately though of BKF. Get it, use it, you're welcome. I used a standard blue kitchen sponge scrubby side.
Jokes aside, great that you've shared what didn't work. I was looking for a way how to clean exhaust tips on my Mini JCW. Initially, I wanted to take them off but I quickly failed and next step was 'find out what other guys are doing" :) Thank you!
I have a bottle of CLR (Calcium Lime Rust) in the cupboard going to try that with the scotch pad on my Audi. 60K km and need cleaned the exhaust despite the rest being fussed over!
Thanks for the tip, I’ve tried in mine but didn’t work, most because of it was very dusty and the carbon was there for so long. But I tested the Vim Pureboost Cream with Bleach, it is a kitchen product that I usually use to clean my stainless steel bbq. Another thing if this doesn’t work for you is to try to buff it using a very thin sandpaper, like 600 or even thinner
Great video! I m definitely gonna try this method! Auminum foil with wd-40 works too, without scratches at all. Once a year I clean my car exhaust tips with this method.
To maintain mine i take some RW like n-914 256:1 and soak a Kirkland MF towel. Go in with the towel fully saturated, flip to clean side of towel for each tip. Once clean take a 2nd clean towel and dry them up. Lastly i use a SI02 spray and give the tips a final coating. Buff away with clean towel. I do this every 2-3 days and it keeps them clean and easy to keep clean.
Duh? Thank you. I lived for a year in a small town in Illinois. Some jerks would just pull into an alley to change their oil. Never mind a pan to collect it. There is oil in this region of Illinois. Maybe that’s why they were so stupid there.
You can do what I did and remove them from the car to clean them or you could put down a cardboard box under the exhaust tips. Try just soap and water and some Mothers metal polish.
What happens if u Clean exhaust tip with rubbing alcohol? I did that to my exhaust tip to clean it out and spray wit 500 degree engine enamel spray. Now I’m afraid to attach exhaust back on car 😬
6 years and 65,000 miles of buildup cleaned up perfectly using your method. Took awhile longer for mine to get desired results. Great video.
"I'm gonna leave you!" - that was a nice touch!
She wasn't kidding, missed out on that Target run!
I spent about 5 minutes doing this and my exhaust looks new again! Great video!
Tried this on my 2015 mk7 GTI and it worked quite well. Doesn't look new but the difference is night and day! Thanks!

Thanks! Bet that JCW is so much fun!
Great Video CLR works just as good.

Just tried this. Worked perfectly!
Goo gone BBQ grill cleaner and a damp sponge. Useful as an oven cleaner or range hood cleaner as well. Super effective, no elbow grease involved.

Soap and water for me. Then Mother's Mag wheel cleaner "Cream" It does wonders and super fast.
Great tip, thanks for sharing.

If the tips are black this method is still good right?
I don't have limeaway so it's not completely free.🤣 Great video though.
Amazing results!! wow thanks for showing how easy it is
thanks for watching
great video. Love your conclusion thoughts on the method you used. Going to give it a try.
This worked beautifully. Awesome video - thank you for posting
Thanks
“It took me longer to clean my four exhaust tips than it might take you to clean your one or two.” Weird flex bro.
It's only a bmw m2
😂😂😂

Autosol in the UK.....this worked fine for my 4 exhausts...
Ty my truck is used for storm reporting and boy do the polished tips get nasty in the winter
22k in 3 years? ive done 20k in 5 months. gotta start driving like him :/
Bro he has to have a at home job and only leaves when necessary 😂 his mileage outta this world lol
Only driven my car 30k in 6 years lol
Put cardboard under your car🤷♂️
What?
@@Aegis4521 the soot from the exhaust will stain your driveway.
@@amberforestrecoreds ah right lol

No bro! Drive Sahara be sure!😅

I placed a cardboard box under
Gonna try that on the Audi S7 I just bought. Thanks. I heard Bar Keeper's Friend works well too.
Yeah Bar Keepers friend is great
@@BlackLungRandy powder or liquid though ?
@@Daiymian Did you find out powder or liquid?
Worked perfectly thank you !
Thanks for the tip!!
Awesome video. I’m gonna try this
Toilet bowl cleaner is a 10/10 here.
What happens if u Clean exhaust tip with rubbing alcohol? I did that to my exhaust tip to clean it out and spray wit 500 degree engine enamel spray. Now I’m afraid to attach exhaust back on car 😬
Thank you!! It worked great!
Sweeet
Nice tip!
Brillo pad and some water and dish soap then finish with chrome polish.
Guys it’s so stress relieving to clean your car
They are already clean not too bad its easy
Thanks very helpful
It works!
Lime Away is $50 in Canada.
Thanks
Autosol metal polish, simples!
Put a pan underneath tips
Ah, try a little muratic acid if you have a swimming pool, a lot less scrubbing...
Does it make a difference on performance?
Yeah. It adds a 2% increase to getting laid per clean exhaust tip
How often should i clean them?
I haven't done mine again since this video 😆 I wouldn't take this as advice necessarily
Shoot - yours look nowhere near as bad as mine on my VW GTI!! Can they be removed to more easily clean them?
Haha. My GTI had the same issues. Now I have an S4. Same story, man! VAG cars are notorious for this issue
WD40.... just spray on all the carbon , leave for 10min , and wipe off
I'm gonna try this right now
Steel wool guys come on
when i get my new exhaust i will apply an ceramic coating to the tips so they are easy to clean
Brilliant idea, I wish I would have thought of that!
Wouldn't the heat burn it right off?
@@NoodleBoy101 not if its made for high temps
Great Idea...What ceramic coating did you use ?
I even put cerami coating on my ceramic dishes, stuff works wonders
ok ut how to
Well that is the exit end of the exhaust, what about inside the whole of exhaust tube?? That can only be done by experts
Get it nice and toasty and it will be cleaning itself
Why it’s becoming carbon
Uj...I just use a rag. Just me?
Just use your neighbor driveway
😏
Bollox.
🤣🤣🤣
Oh great a video about some guy not knowing what he is doing
People - if you are going to go and buy a product - buy some "BAR KEEPERS FRIEND" it is all you need. Much better than LIME AWAY.
