The first step in getting an exhaust pipe looking as good as new again is to wash off the superficial dirt with soap and water. To clean the exhaust tip, use an old cloth which you don’t mind getting dirty. For the inside of the exhaust, use your brush, getting it as deep as you can.

Next, apply the degreaser to the inside and outside of the exhaust tip as far you can reach with a dry old cloth. The degreaser will loosen the carbon deposits and rust. After leaving it to soak for the time recommended on the product’s label, scrub the degreaser off in small, controlled circles using the steel wool. This will remove the small flakes of rust. If your exhaust has been neglected for a number of years, then you may need to repeat this process a few times to achieve the desired result.

Wipe down the exhaust with a microfibre cloth to remove all moisture and dust, and then apply the polish to the inside and outside of the tip with the steel wool. After leaving it to soak for the time recommended on the label, buff the polish off using a microfibre cloth.
