Brillo pad!

Ouch! That sounds painful. Really if you keep on top of them you shouldn't need anything abrasive.

They were a bit scratched when i got the car so the dirt is gettin stuck in them. I wanted to get them out without have to use too much pressure as not to cause more scratches.

Will wash and clay and then use autosol and then PB Wheel Sealant and see if that keeps them cleaner for a bit longer

If its quite scratched already, the 00 grade wire wool will mask the scratches a little and restore the shine.

Are they different to the Yeti tips that us GT owners fit? If so, if they are really bad, the Yeti ones are only £25 for the pair to replace, and simply push on.

I've had mine for well over a year and done nothing more than wash them when washing the car. They still look like brand new.

I don't think the diesel exhausts pipes get anywhere near as sooty as the petrol ones for some reason. :sad:
