I recently installed my buschur tbe and the exhuast gas started caking that black smog on my white jdm bumper. any tips on either fixing this or cleaning it?

 

How often do you clean your bumper? I clean mine off as needed, but unless you are running E85, you are going to get crap.

 

Unfortunately its the nature of the beast with a white car and catless exhaust.

I use these degreaser hand wipes first on the bumper and then use a clay bar to clean the exhaust soot off the bumper. If you do it once a week, its easy work, but i typically do it about once a month, so it takes some elbow grease.

 

that stinks. but thanks guys i guess i just better clean it!

 

Does this just happen because it's catless?

 

Pretty much, or it happens because you are running too rich and it has no where else to go but out the exhaust.

 

That's why you go Apex Silver... Mix of Black And Whitish . Clean you rear bumper more often.

 

... But yeah white cars are real B***h to keep clean. If you do daily driving it will NOT stay clean. Actually it depends on how you drive, where you drive, where you park. Many things.

 

Lacquer thinner, then cleaner wax.

 

I have scratch removal and it works really well for crap like this. So unless you're paint was magnetically sprayed on the bumper (like my friend's GTI), scratch removal works well. I have the Meguiars and it works well. I heard 3M was the best.

 

Simple green will take it off very easily. Just make sure you wax the heck out of it when you are done.

Get the Speed Source metal heat shield. It is easy to install and gives just enough protection to drastically cut down on the soot on the bumper. Oh and it's low cost too.

 

carbon heat shield or just learn to love the extra power! I wear it like a badge of honor, then again i drive a black car

 

This or clay bar...both work well.

 

Goof off works awesome....

 

dude, you have a modded turbo car and white paint with a 3 inch exhaust, it happens,...

i have a WW 9 and i clean it like once a week and yes, you have to use some big boy elbow grease to get the soot(sp?) off.
