So heres a question for all your cleaning gurus out there. I was at the last week and managed to melt part my diffuser. No big deal, didnt melt a ton and will just fit some heat shields over my exhaust tips. M issue is how to clean all the plastic and crap off the tips without ruining the finish? Heres a pic of one of the tips

So whats the best way to clean these?

 

superfine steel wool should take that right off without scratching the metal. try a test spot if you are unsure
shine it up with some Flitz when done.

 

wow what happend to ur invidia q300 ... it even melted the top metal part.. how closed is the top part of ur exhaust tips to the diffuser?

 

they're sitting pretty close, haven't had any issues until i was at watkins glen for two days in july. exhaust has been on there for roughly 6-7 months now. will be picking up some heat shields now.

 

Brake cleaner!!! It works wonders! I did a Google search and all the rocket guys use Brake cleaner to clean their titanium, so I tried it and it works really well!!!

 

x2... brake cleaner does do a very goood job.

 

I would also try some 000 steel wool.

 

I use Eagle 1 Never Dull first to buff then wipe with a clean terry or microfiber.

I have heard autosol is great but may take off the burnt finish.

This would be on my Greddy Ti Rolled Tip

 

I had the same issue. Brake cleaner didnt get the plastic **** off. I tried everything I had but still nothing. A week or two later, I checked on my tip and it totally disappeared. The plastic burnt off into ash after having it heat up during my commutes. I suppose in due time, it will burn off without leaving a mark... Well for me it did on my Jic full Ti Bullet. GL !

 

update: the brake cleaner and steel wool did the trick. thanks for the help guys

 

steel wool then mothers mag polish (advertised to work on any metal surface)

 

WoW u sure drive the car hard
