Any of you guys got any idea on how to clean the black carbon residue off the exhaust as in the pic (see red circle area.

So far ive tried........

Normal T-cut
Metal and Chrome T-cut
Metal Brasso

Short of getting a bit of sand paper or wire wool to it which i dont think will work im a little bit stuck.

Have you tried a tube of metal polish?

I havent tried yet but am intending on getting some (chrome polish might work also)

 

[darth megane]

was going to say autoglym

Ive got the same problem as you Alex, ive tried those as well as a tube of metal polish. It did work a bit, but couldn't get it all off.

 

[Jon Seal]

yeah autoglym do a good metal polish that gets the crud off

 

[Alex]

Its almost like the chrome has come off.

I might speak to the dealership about it.

 

[BlackRat250]

Mines the same, i thought that. It gets dirty so bloody quick.

I used wonder wheels on mine last week, worked a treat. :wink:

 

[BlackRat250]

[dools225]

[BlackRat250]

[BlackRat250]

I use a scourer on the exhaust tailpipes and it comes up a treat everytime

 

[BlackRat250]

You might use that on your van jmie, but we love our cars :lol: :lol: :wink:

I once hired a car to drive to the South of France it was a brand new Megane and my son wanted to clean it so he did with a scourer all over it!!

I had to claim on the insurance

Needless to say he learnt how to do it properly on that very day!!!!

 

[Bubbles]
