Nasty exhaust tips
Ok, so the only thing that I've found that will get my exhaust tips clean is an SOS pad. But I'm tired of getting steel wool in my finger tips. Any ideas?

Re: Nasty exhaust tips
WAX them after you clean them and they will come clean easier. or just cut them off and run DUMPS.

  Have you tried Mothers' Metal Polish? Works well on Jeanne's car.

I have cats and depending how much I flog it, I can get some soot on the tips as well. His tune may be a little rich. Mine is 10:1 at 5000rpm. Mine is definitely worse during the winter(colder temps) though I think.

 Understatement of the year! Factory '03 Cobra tune = dump lots and lots of fuel so retarded owners don't blow up their motors.  But until I can afford a tune, I'll just have to keep scrubbing the tail pipes.

Re: Nasty exhaust tips
Try out Eagle One or Billy Boat wadding polish. That stuff works wonders! Then I would wax the tips after.
