cleaned exhaust tips[see pics]
my exhaust tips looks nasty as hell with rust spots after this winter.. so i went ahead and washed em first with regular car wash and a scrubber; then took some 00 steal wool followed by 0000 steal wool to finish it off. and just wiped em dry after, result was to my liking =]

Re: cleaned exhaust tips[see pics]
On top of using the steel wool I found it very helpful to use barkeepers friend which can be found in most any supermarkets and walmarts this helps as a polish/cleaner and helps remove rust.
