New Audi A3, and exhaust pipes need polishing..
I have Audi A3 2,0 FSI, it's been drove about 5000 km. Those double
chromed/steal exhaustpipes have turned black/dirty. Any good ideas, how to polish them? If you know what stuff to use, please mention also what kind of chemicals it use, since it may not be available in Finland, but something similar should be. Thanks, - Yak |

I have similar tail pipes, and so far have managed to keep the chrome clean by simply washing with regular car wash detergent. The grunge comes right off if you keep after it... /daytripper '00 s4 6spd |

I hadn't even thought of using wheel cleaner, so thanks for the tip. - Yak |
