Ok - This May Sound A Little Weird, But ........

I have just cleaned the exhaust on the IS with Cif !

Was prepping the car today for Trax and thought that the tip looked proper grubby. I thought it was mild steel but also thought i could removed some of the crap.

Looked for my Silvo which is normally pretty good at clearing crud but couldn't find it.

Low and behold i saw the Cif under the kitchen sink - worth a stab i thought, it cleaned the radiators in the house nicely and they're metal

Anyway - slapped a bit on only to find it worked a treat - and i have now found out that the exhaust tip is stainless steel

Looks fookin brilliant now (I even got a little anal and cleaned the inside :duh: )

So - don't bother with expensive metal cleaners at £3/4 a tube - get some 99p Cif from the local shop - job done :D

I know what you mean mate - did mine with Mr Muscle oven cleaner - came up a treat

My exhaust tip has turned dark brown/bronze colour. :yack: I'll try the Cif trick tomorrow. I have Mr Muscle too. :D

LOL...I washed my car yesterday but forgot to clean my exhaust.

[aido]

Has anyone used Wonder Wheels on their exhaust tip?

It occurred to me the other day when I gave it a quick blast on the alloys, that stuff is bloody harsh and would make em shiney, but I don't know if it can be used!

i tried wonder wheels mate, in fact ive tried loads of different things since ive had the car but settled on just giving it a good clean with an old sponge using gold shampoo and elbow grease, even waxed it once!

[aido]

Blimey it must be shiney mate, I only ever give the top of it a blast with the jet wash, the noise makes me laugh!!

Going to try Cillit Bang next :)

I use the water & sponge after cleaning the car and then a quick bit of stage 1, comes up a treat :D

Mine is Gold plated and has bits of tar and other rubbish on it. I never usually bother cleaning it.

Any recommendations on what to use to clean it WITHOUT stripping off the gold? :D

Would the Cif be ok?
