    This is absolutely fantastic stuff. It also is unlikely to harm anything further.

    For as much shit as third gen owners give Ridgeline owners, you'd never see an old gal named Bonnie fuck up her Ridgeline's exhaust tip.

    If the chrome really is ruined, you could get it powder coated black or some other color, or get it rechromed.

    I agree black would look good, theres enough chrome on my truck to where the chrome tip looks ok imo, black may be a future mod later down the road if I ever get blacked out emblems and grill surround

    Nice work.

    I'm glad it worked out, but don't hesitate to axle dump in the future!

    If tip can be removed, a light cleaning with steel wool then a good quality can of high temp black paint should do it.

    Is good beer available in cases? I had the same issue with the TRD tip that came on my 3rd gen, removed it, polished it up like new, and sold it for $30 bucks. Sold the side steps and shell also, paid for BAMF sliders and KO2’s ... and probably some beer.

    Aluminum foil crumpled into a ball will probably clean it right up. Taking it off might be better though.

    This plus vinegar will take off those spots

    I have never tried vinegar with it. Next time I will. The foil itself seems to take a lot off of chrome.

    Surprised no ones brought it up, but I'd think about using a clay bar on it to see if it lifts. Obviously you'll want to wait until it's completely cooled down.
