[WobGTI]

guys,  cleaned the car earlier and couple of q's

what is the best tyre shine you can get - honestly i put some on today went for a 5min drive and its gone already.

And! Whats the best way to clean the exhaust tips? mines gone rather black - i used some err autosol? when i got the car and it was such a pullava - there must be an easier way!

thoughts?

Megs Endurance Tyre Gel is pretty good, gets good reviews generally and is reasonably priced

Some fine wire wool with metal/chrome paste cleaner will do the job,  but it's a mucky one    Wear some protective gloves is my advice

Megs ntx metal cleaner works well for your exhaust tips.

I was trying to clean my exhaust tips last week. Used some wire wool pads from halfrauds (Brillo pads without the soap basically). Spent a good ten minutes on each tip to get it clean and still then it wasn't brilliant. The edges of the exhaust were very bright though!

I asked about in the detailing section and have been told to first use wire wool, then scour pad (the kind you use for washing up with a green thin layer at the top) and then microfibre cloth + autosol polish. Will be trying this tomorrow.

This is what the Meguiars Endurance Tyre Gel will look like, and will last a fair while   :-

I use a little bit of fine rubbing compound after the loose stuff has been washed off to buff the exhaust tips up.

And smells good too   Don't use too much though like I did the first time I used it and had black spray up the side of the car when I drove down the road! 

I also use Meguiars metal polish and apart from that smelling yummy as well it seems to make my exhaust pretty shiny.
