I said it before, but Tinfoil ;)

And it doesnt scratch as you might think.

Did you use any wire wool?

I would also suggest another top tip........get a swiss army knife or something similar and run it around the inside of the pipes and it will break up all those large soot deposits.........:thumbup:

Tried that (i.e certain parts from a Rifle Cleaning Kit which bear in mind can get off Baked on Carbon after firing thousands of rounds through)

Not tried wire wool but if the bits of a RCK cant get it off then i cant see that working. Is there no product like WonderWheels? i.e wonderzorst :rolleyes: that you just spray on leave 2 mins then wipe of??

Not that I am aware of mate but I am surprised you couldn't get the soot off in the insides of the exahust tip as the swiss army knife always work for me and I have done some shocking exhaust pipes...............:eek:

bit of a problem there. the lowest rank working with me is CSgt/SSgt same as me so might find it difficult:rolleyes:. Ill just get Baker to do it he seems to be in the know :D

My advice would be to clean/polish it everytime you wash the car, that way you dont get the build up. :)

:thumbup:

im gonna try the swiss army trick next time as i can only get my fingers so far into the exhaust with wire wall and brasso cloths. :thumbup:

next question - do the swiss army actually carry knives?

Yes, In a wee pouch on their belt, they looked like leathermans to me though :D

Seriously though i do do it every time i clean the car. However with my Job i don't have the luxury of being able to clean my car as often as i would like too.

Always glad to help :D

Have you tried WD40?

Also, fine wet and dry would be worth a go. Maybe start at 800 grit and work up to 1400. Then Autosol with a micro fibre.
