I ordered some at the start of the week can't go wrong with the gtechniq kitJust used this very pleased with the results. Not much effort to use far less buffing than Autosol. Tips were cleaned with a washmitt prior to application .....

Got on the floor last night and had a good look at the exhausts etc. I would describe it as a black plastic box that sits on top of the inner exhaust pipe. If you get on the floor it makes perfect sense in terms of what to disconnect. The cable comes out of the top of the box.
Once disconnected, I'm planning to tape the end off with electrical tape and the plug it back in to stop **** getting in it etc which I think a few other people have done.
I've got another idea for my cruddy tailpipes, eh @Rob2k68 ?!
How are you finding the coating..Any cracks etc?I used autosol and it didn't work so I have mine ceramic coated then I painted them Matt black. Problem solved ha.

horses for courses if we all liked the same thing life would be rather boring.Those black tips look terrible IMO
l used one to clear the soot from them today...and l did...
I had previously scrubbed them,then polished them using gtechniq Nano polish,all it took was a wipe to clean them after using the Polish
Wonder if you can get a Dremel attachment that would be nice and soft to clean/buff up...will look later!Given up, after 2 years and 31,000 miles, of trying to clean using 'products' and got out the Brillo pad.
10 minutes later all sparkly chrome again and with no visible signs of any damage to chrome.
Up yours grandad!God help us.......................4 pages of this and you girls still can't sort yer tips out!! lol
Up yours grandad!
Additionally, Coat exhaust pipes with Car Pro CQuartzto prevent the sticking of black exhaust blowback.After only 10 days of ownership I've noticed the exhaust tips get black quickly, and it's tricky to clean off completely
If you're finding the same then you might be interested in an approach I tried out today with great success...
I sprayed onto the exhaust tips some BBQ cleaner (Selleys brand here in Oz). It's non abrasive and works a treat combined with a dish washing sponge. The green scourer side is good for the super-stubborn sooty deposits on the inner lower lip. Leaves the whole thing looking shiny as new. Ripper!
I had previously tried wheel cleaner on one tip with little success
I've also got some BBQ wipes - like a giant thick baby wipe with rubbery nodules - from same brand that I might try on the alloys next clean. Will post a report here later...
