Title: Exhausts
Post by: VWKev on 04 December 2010, 20:02
I've neglected the tailpipes due to the weather and a mixture of lazyness and forgetting.

I used to always do them but now they have managed to get a bit dirty and badly need done.

Is there a steel wool or similar I can use on the outside of them to get them back to full shine glory ?

yes autosol is good stuff so if you have some then keep it/use it, the britemax metal twins are fairly new and perform well so well worth a look tbh.
