Well my tail pipes are forever looking dirty and was wondering what you guys all use to keep yours nice and shiny.

I give mine a going over with a brillo pad but it doesn't seem to do the job very well.

For goodness sake Gizzy, don't use a brillo pad, you'll take all the shine off them. Clean them with some T-Cut or similar [metal polish] then put a good quality wax on there. After that you should be able to wash off any dirt and re-wax periodically.

Maybe, but they won't look as good [IMHO]

Trawled through but can't find any with the new exhaust. Did find this on my travels though. Satin Powder coat.

*Edit* That's a 911 Turbo
