    Silly question men. And rather than start a new thread i figured i'd ask here first. Chrome tip on TRD exhaust(or at least I think it's chrome). Anyone got any tricks to cleaning it? Make it shine again. I have a Harley so I have ever chrome cleaner and aluminum cleaner known to man. But nothing seems to work without a ton of effort. The Aluminum cleaner(that turns black as you scrub) seems to do the best job. But I have to do it about 5 times to get decent results. And it still doesn't come out as good as I think it should. Wondering if there are any tricks out there i don't know about.

    Sorry if this is hijacking. I didn't meant to if it is.

    Squirt the soft scrub on the pad and wrap it around the tip and stroke it good :devil: It works every time and the truck will have a happy ending.

    I orderfill at the distribution center. Its highly labour intensive and keeps me in shape and i work in a cooler at 32 degrees and sometimes a freezer at neg 30 for 10 hours a day. But i try to stay away from the freezer lol. Im also capped out on pay. Last month i transfered to the non perishable side so i lost my freezer pay. But yea its a great job for those with no college degree that want to make 35 to 60k a year. If you have a cdl and dont mind being on the road for a while, the truck drivers make fricken bank most gross about 2k to 5k per 2 weeks. Some dc's outsource through swift to save money.
