Although I already have a sad obsession with keeping my standard pipes gleaming, :rolleyes:

I'm probably gonna be shot for this but my car gets washed by some eastern europeans in a pub car park... a fiver well spent imo (and no wet footprints in the kitchen). My question is: what do you use to keep the pipes gleaming... mine now have a dull matt appearance?

RedRobin: your car, especially from the front, is the dog's nuts... I love the mirrors. Not over-the top at all.

....Thanks for the compliment.

Re cleaning exhaust pipes, I use a supermarket non-scratch scouring pad with a bit of water and then polished with an old T-shirt. That's on stainless steel but I guess it would work on stock exhaust tips. I wouldn't clean a car you care about with any sponge or high-powered jet. The sponge will hold grit particles and scour paintwork.

I concur, use Autosol all the time, very good stuff.  However, just bought some P21S metal polish, which has also produced excellent results.
