Exhaust tips
As title, all looking a bit dull on my 4.4. Have tried Autosol but not made any difference. Anyone suggest something else to reform them to their former glory?

Re: Exhaust tips
Are the tips removable or part of the exhaust pipe?
Re: Exhaust tips
I gave up trying to get my chrome tips clean and sprayed them Satin Black.
Looks much better IMHO.

Re: Exhaust tips
Not sure if they are removable or not. I'll have a look later. However, I like the idea of spraying them satin black. I intend to have the roof rails off and spray them so can do all at the same time.

Re: Exhaust tips
I have had mine off to clean them up and they just pull off. Well at least mine did. Mine didnt clean up ro well so will be spraying them satin black once the winter is out of the way.
Re: Exhaust tips
I thought 4.4 tailpipes are black anyway! Mine are! My plastic tailpipe surrounds have gone a bit white (heat damage?)
Is this normal? I've ordered some new ones today.

I've seen a lot of detailers use a Dremel to polish normal metal tips,but obviously that's
not good if they're chromed !! But otherwise , the metal comes up really well

Out of curiosity how much are the tailpipes? You buy 4?
[/quote]I've ordered the plastic bits that surround the tailpipes that fit into the bumper.I think they protect the bumper from the heat. Not the tailpipes.
