what is the best tyre shine you can get -

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

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!

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

The wire wool and autoglym paste works extremely well i must say!!!!

WD40 works a treat to get the general crud off.

If that don't work, like the other guys have said fine grade wire wool with a drop of Autosol metal polish
