I wasn't sure where to put this question.

I need help with cleaning the Titanium Tip of my exhaust. While washing the car this weekend, I noticed that the tip had some sort of residue on it. It almost looked like soap had dried on the tip. Well, I tried washing it off, and it wouldn't come off. So, I tried scrubbing it, and I tried fingernail scraping it off. I couldn't get that ish off to save my life. Any ideas? It's on an HKS Carbon Ti exhaust. It looks like soap almost, but I've never let anything, much less soap just dry on my car without taking care of it. I didn't try a metal brush or sandpaper, because I wasn't sure how bad it would scratch the finish.

 

i have the same problem! does anyone know?

 

try a claybar. if that doesen't work I am sure an aluminum polish will help.

 

I use a metal polish on my exhaust tip almost everytime I wash the car. It cleans the stuff normal soap + water can't.

 

What technique do you use with the clay bar. Describe how you use it on the tip.

 

hmm on my greddy ti theres like a layer of something im not really sure what it is? it does look like dried soap not sure im having pics up in a sec.

 

heres the pic im not sure what kind of stuff that is but its there. anyone know what that is? and how to remove it?

 

noone?

 

as crazy as it sounds, i use to use coca cola to clean my civic exhaust. it will clean rust off chrome as well. I would just rinse and whip really well afterwards.

 

ahaha yeah people use coke to clean engines.

 

eagle one nevr-dull

u can pick it up at advanced auto/autozone, works amazing i use it all the time

 

Eagle one Never Dull wadding polish is great! If that won't do it im not sure what will. As far as the clay bar it may help. Just buy the Megs or Mothers kit that comes with the clay bar and the detail spray. Just spray the detail spray on and then wipe the bar across.

 

is eagle one never dull the same thing as mothers billet polish?

 

i tried mothers and nothing happend =/

 

purple stuff gets the residue off my tip............mine is mostly soot residue though..
