HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 окт 2024
- Hey guys, just a quick video on what I use to clean the exhaust tips on my 2017 Audi S3, the same methods can be used on pretty much ANY car with chrome exhaust tips, pretty quick and easy and takes around 15 minutes depending on how dirty your exhaust is.
Thanks for watching

Hey mate, I think it would be better if you wash/wipe off the dirt before applying the polish. You will get a much better finish and will not waste as much polish. I normally wet a microfibre cloth and just wipe them down.
Rob B Hey, thanks for the tips mate will give it a try, still learning myself 👍🏼
Literally just cleaned my tips with a wet micro fibre then checked to see what people are using to finish off. I'll get some of this stuff on my next visit. Ps like your style hamza you seem i nice genuine guy.
If it’s like my golf you should be able to remove the chrome exhaust tip, you should be able to twist them left and right and they will come off, they do grip the exhaust with like a spring clip. Then clean them with warm water and car shampoo, dry and I then use T-Cut metal polish to give them a sparkling finish.
I've been watching all your videos for the last couple of days! My s3 arrives next week and i am incredebly excited! Mine is also very similarly equipped like yours
Awesome man, congrats on your new car, glad my videos helped with the wait!
Big up you hamza been watching your s3 vids for a minute now , finally got my myself one 👏🏽👊🏽
Bang on pall just got a Mk7 GTi exactly the same problem off to Halfords for that polish now!!!!!
"I don't know what I can do about that" basically means "man don't care fam, that's your own beef" looool
very satisfying to watch.
Good job bro 👍🏾
Thank you bro, awesome vids on the M3!
Your videos are really helpful and interesting, thank you brother
RS7 Thank you for the kind words brother I'm glad you're enjoying them 👍🏼
Man has come far in 5yrs!
Thanks for sharing, bought the stuff you recommended and it polished up merc exhausts, that hadn't been cleaned in a decade, a treat
Just came across your video, just ordered some going to give it a clean at the weekend! Thank you!
Been waiting for a video on this 👍 great job mate
+tosixty Glad it could be of some help, thanks mate!
loving ur vids just started watching ur channel recently, u keep it real and down to earth. Recently bought the golf r and from watching this vid thought I'd give it a go at cleaning my tips, for the life of me I can't get them clean lol, guess need to try some of the autosol u used hope it does the trick, keep up the great reviews
Autosol worked a treat on cleaning my Audi S1 exhausts. Thanks for the video!
I’ve just used this on my audi. Def need a lot of elbow grease to get the stubborn areas. The top of my pipes looks great. It’s the lower part of the rim that still has dirt on. I’ve been scrubbing for ages too. I’m not to keen on wire-wool although quite a few use it to assist them.
Nice one mate. Got my S3 yesterday and I'm absolutely in love with it!
Corey Weir Awesome cars aren't they, Glad you're enjoying it mate!
Pro or not. You done the business, if it works that’s all it matters.
Hi Hamza - Good video. I've fought with this issue on my last two S3's. Two other options - 1) Wire Wool 0000, really light abrasive (gun grade) - doesn't damage the chrome and 2) Use VCDS or Disconnect the exhaust valve - otherwise the inner pipe gets all the muck - this would even out the soot over the two pipes :-)
+R Griffiths Thanks mate, will take your advice on board and give those methods a go next time they're covered in soot!
Super helpful video. Gave it a shot on my own car today using Mother's automotive metal polish. You are completely right that the more time and elbow grease put in, the better the results. Thanks for posting! Subscription inbound :)
Before polishing, I like to clean them with a degreaser like Oil Eater. This makes it easier and you use much less polish.
Not a bad job, but would definitely recommend giving the exhaust a quick wipe down first with water before applying the polish
Yeah true, reason I didn't wipe left side was due to me wiping the right set and finding it didn't make too much of a difference, I think giving it a thorough jet wash would help beforehand. Dirt was just too thick.
Brilliant video as always brother just bought a Golf R with mucky tips so going to give them a good clean 👍👍
same for me Scott !
lol I'm a owner of a 14 plate s3 ,jus watched your vid & also realised I brought that metal polish few months ago. woop woop
+Lewis Cannon S3 owners think alike it seems haha
Lewis Cannon ive got an 8p S3 and also use this polish with an old tooth brush
I used this today and it worked wonders! Really recommend this! I got the Autosol from Wilko’s for £4 cheapest I found
Quick detailing spray would be ideal to use as a pre cleaner before applying the polish, as for the product it produces great results ! x.
Nice 1 m8t I’ve been looking for someone to show me what to use to polish up the exhaust tips thanks
Fair enough, no point in having quads if no one can see them.
So how long does it take for the tips to get as dirty as in the beginning of your video, assuming you just cleaned them today and had normal daily use? Two days? One week? More?
Very helpful mate. Things get so dirty out here in Dubai lol. Have you got a video on how to keep the alloys clean?
Thank u mate appreciate the video it’s really helped me out 👍🏻
Smashed it 🖒 Just goes to show it's not always complicated. Hope you're having a good Ramadan bro.
Nice video bud, no messing just the stuff needed 😉
Great job! I'll give this ago, have you noticed the two middle exhausts get really dirty but the outer pipes stay much cleaner, hamza why is this?
Hi mate. Another good vid. Trouble with a black car is the dirt shows up more than any other colour. Still looks cool though. All the best mate.
ian taf Hi Ian, thanks! Yeah it's a pain to keep clean, if I get it washed it literally lasts about 2 days haha
Got my S3 on order. can't wait ! How do you find cleaning the diamond cut wheels ? I read that they are susceptible to damage in winter due to salt on roads ??
Awesome mate congrats, you're gonna love it! I find that cleaning the diamond cut alloys isn't too much of an issue, protecting them from damage is a pain though, definitely going to get non diamond cut on my next car.
Nice video mate. Works a treat 👍
Very nice videos ...subscribed right after the '4 reasons video'
I am very set on an S3/S4 as my next car and I'm a tech geek and was wondering if you could do a video of all the cool tech features of the car... escpecially the Virtual Cockpit features ;)
Thanks... keep up the great content.
Franksta16 Awesome mate welcome! Thanks for the feedback I'm glad you're enjoying the videos, I'll try to make a video on VC soon 👍🏼
Need to do this on mk5 GTI. No idea when they were done last so it might be a bit of a mission
That was so quick When I did my RS pipes I spent a good 30 minutes
You should get it apr mapped and get miltek exhaust tm it will sound great and jus be really quick I own an s3 2012 with apr mapped stage 3 and the miltek exhaust it sounds great and jus recently got a turbo on it so it's pushing nearly 500 bhp now
A very good video. Thank you for the tip as it works :) I bought Autosol and it cleaned my exhaust tips beautifully. Wonderful. Thank you.
+Haresh Kainth (Harry) No problem, thank you!
Do they stay clean?
Don't know if you know, but if you get a rubber mallet and just tap them from the back they just pop off and then just push back on, wayyy easy to clean them that way.
+Stop Had no idea! that would make it much easier that trying to get in there with a cloth
Nice vid! Have you unplugged your exhaust valve cable?
I use mothers mag which works wonders! Only apply a tiny bit and my tips come up shiny. Don't you use one microfibre to apply and another to buff?
+i10LethalZidane Never tried that might give it a go! Yeah I usually use two, second to buff right at the end, I cut this vid early before I had fully finished, it woulda been too long otherwise haha
I know you might think I'm nuts, but another method that does a bangin job is Johnson's baby oil. frequently used as a cleaning agent.
Haha I dont judge I might give it a go myself!
pro tip: just pull the exhaust tip out, it is literally only held in place by tension brackets.
so to clean it just pull the tips out and then you will actually have it so much easier to clean and polish the chrome tips.
good video.....I've always used the same stuff and get the perfect finish ev-ery sin-gle tiiiime!
Been wondering what would get that grime off mine.. Thanks mate
+TheApxnChannel no problem mate 👍🏼
Very useful, cheers mate
+Nabeel Kayani You're welcome mate anytime!
Hey Hamza, are you on audisport.net? If not i would suggest maybe getting yourself on there and posting your videos in the a3/s3 forum, im sure you will get a lot of support from the guys on there!
+Joe Davidson Hey Joe, I've been trying to make an account on there for months! For some reason I never receive my email confirmation despite getting it resent multiple times, been lurking since last July, any idea what I can do to resolve?
TR Hamza pm one of the moderators on there, try Sandra she is very helpful. Good luck and I love the vids and your style very easy to watch and you come across down to earth.
How would he PM them if he can't make an account? lol
Wire wool is good to use aswell
bro your so lucky to have that lol. Im 19 and RS3 is my dream car. But when im your age RS3's probably all be used so i wont have no choice but to get the newer model! Totally love RS3's
Why didnt you get the RS3? Its A tiny little bit more quicker but its also 17k+ extra
+Hasan Farook Thanks bro, picked this up at 21 so not much older than you, I'm sure the RS3 won't seem that old when you're my age lol. And reason why not an RS3 is because at that price I rather get a M2, love those. I'm happy with an S3 at my age.
But hamza s3 and rs3 only a difference of 12k, and the insurance wont be as much higher but the sound and the pulls are totally different, dont get me wrong, s3 is still a rahmi car, your lucky enough, and your 23, bro, how the actuall fuck did you afford a 30k car lmao. My dream is one of these cars, but im planning to get it in 10 years, would you mind if i asked how your doing it bro?
Hasan Farook 40k car
Hasan Farook how the fuck is 12k 'Only'
good video brother :)
just subbed! keep it up bro
Thanks bro will do!
Please note that autosol is an abrasive?
What do you work as ?
Anything cheaper than autosol but does same thing?
+e2k Not sure, there's a few suggestions in the comments maybe check them out if they're cheaper 👍🏼
Cola Mate, Pepsi or coke... seriously, I use it on my Suzuka grey S3 pipes then maybe Autosol if need be....
dope video man.
Nice car, way too expensive in the Netherlands though. I normally use MEGUIARS NXT ALL METAL POLISH , wash exhaust tip first then apply this.
Need to do this to my s5 it's old but I love it and it has a V8 :-)))))
Respect cuzzy
Not bad. But i much prefer showroom shine just wipe it on and wipe off with microfibre cloths and showroom shine can be used all over your car but is very good on chrome.
Same here, haven't cleaned mine since September, I'll have to give this a try, thanks! Another great video, keep it up! 👌🏻
Thanks mate! Yeah its one of those things you just leave out as all you wanna do is just drive!
Nice, maybe waxing after would help to make cleaning easy on a regular basis.
There is an easier way, I forget the brand but the alloy wheel cleaner you get with the brush kills the coke off the pipe, smother it, leave for 2 mins and sponge it off firmly.
Thanks, might give it a go!
why does one exhaust always look dirtier than the other? Same on my S3.
DSG doesn't chuck out fuel but it's just a build up of crap coming out the exhaust! Look at most TFSI cars, they'll all have black bottoms of exhausts :)
Good job
Spray tips with wd40, wipe with old MF cloth, and then clean with autosol or Mothers Mag. Perfect finish and protection
nice car
We came because our exhausts are filthy, now they're gonna be clean so 👍
Seem to use a lot of product, wouldn't it be better to just clean with a wash mitt and then use a small amount of polish once the crap is all gone
+Peter Cowdell Probably yes, either way works I guess, might give that a go next time, dirt was very thick this time
hp brown sauce cleans it just as good wipe some on and rinse it 5 mins later im not kidding try it
if you could buy your car again would you still buy black?
You should have cleaned pipes first but you already new that right DOH!!
Yeah moree
Nice vid but the S3 or Audi in general has no soul imho...
Use CIF - just as good
You are shy but video is fine
Lol bro no disrespect,but i think you should stick to driving and reviewing cars,your good at that.leave the deatiling to others.😂🤣
2 screws remove them and to like that
you should have just used toothpast!!does the job bettter!!!
Why didn’t you just take them off lol
use a toothbrush.. Then Whipe. works great
+aslanbarsk Thanks, will give it a go!
wash before dude
jeez man just knock the tips off
LOL
Wallaper
Bang on pall just got a Mk7 GTi exactly the same problem off to Halfords for that polish now!!!!!
