Bought a used TRD exhaust

Picked up a used TRD exhaust with the black chrome tip.

Anyone know of a good cleaner to polish this up? I washed it down with regular car soap but it didn’t help very my much.

Not too worried but thought I would ask in case someone had a suggestion.

 

You could try a little metal polish on it. That cleans mine up nicely; however, mine is chrome not black. Might want to try it on an inconspicuous place first.

 

looks like its pitting

 

Bar Keepers Friend Powdered Cleanser this stuff does wonders on pots/pans Im a believer remove those nasty burn stains

 

If at all possible do not use steel wool, it will scratch even the 000 will. Used specific chrome polish.

 

Thanks for the tips guys! I will report back.

 

bad pun

 

Mothers will clean it up, but once it’s pitted, it’s pitted. Just use an old towel. So pitted

 

"0000" (4 zeros) works great

 

I have always used 0000 steel wool and cleaner wax on polished parts, never had an issue with scratching.

 

I mean, Works on my on cast iron...

 

I seriously use it on exhaust tips. It's really the only reason I have 0000 steel wool.

 

I agree, looks like it's pitted. I'd be careful not to rub through the black finish trying to remove it. At least the rest of it should look ok as it's stainless. I believe the ones that look like chrome tips are actually highly polished stainless. At least that's what mine looks like.

 

Sand the pits down and high heat spray paint. It will look brand new.

 

Use a product called Nevr Dull. Its magic in a can and will take care of that tip quick
