how to remove carbon build up on exhaust tip

[iblizzard]

Just wondering what the best way to remove all the carbon build up on my muffler tip would be?

Mothers Aluminum Polish.

If you are referring to burnt oil, I use this degreaser(i think its castrol?) that comes in a purple bottle with one of those green scotch brite pads.

Will that just polish it and make it shine, or will it actually remove the build up?

SOS Pad!

Steal wool

Use mother's polish/eagle one nevr dull, etc. I would use the nevr dull as it comes with material in the can to wipe/scrub with. Or you can use steel wool if you just get the polish.

Before you polish, you should try to clean off whatever gunk is on it with a degreaser like Simple Green.

Might need to reapply more stuff and keep polishing it off, but it'll turn something thast completely covered in black soot/grime and make it look like fresh chrome :)

I need to do this as well.. i hear VIM works too?

Degreaser pads work.

My muffler tip is chrome and to get rid of the carbon build up, I use firstly use Gunk Intake cleaner. I let it soak and rub it out with a cloth. I don't like to use a pad or anything that'll leave scratch's. Then I use Mothers, chrome cleaner.

Well, I used Gunk Intake Medic and rubbed it around with a scotch brite pad... scrubbed pretty hard and got most of it off... then put on the mothers aluminum and mag polish and buffed it up... looks fantastic now! Very shiny!

use fast orange to get the deposits off then mothers metal polish to make it look shiny after.....worked for me....

[racin_jayson]

I swear nothing will work better than oven cleaner. it even removes the tarnish that you get on stainless steel over time. that'll clean your pipe, and like all the other guys say, some metal polish will shine it up
