Cleaning Tailpipes On MKVI GTI

[Timmay14]

Hi All

New to the forums here and hoping for some advice on cleaning my precious GTI.

I have let the tailpipes get a tad too dirty and am now having trouble getting them clean and like new. The grot is really caked on there and i just cant get it off.

Any suggestions for a good cleaning product that will help me get them shining again?

Thanks in advance

You need an abrasive metal polish, such as Autosol. Add elbow grease, should come up a treat!

Will give it a go

I use a very fine steel mesh and WD40. Works a charm.

Purple Metal Polish.

I used methol on mine

I use Mothers Chrome polish, it's very effective and a little goes a long way.

Mothers Chrome Polish
Purple Metal Polish (my favourite)
Flitz Polish Paste
Autosol Liquid Polish

You want to use something that is not too abrasive as you are only maintaining.

The 4 listed above is what i'd recommend. But remember they would be a "one" off purchase, something you would keep for an incredibly long time as so little is only needed always.

+1 for the mothers chrome polish. A light regular polish will keep them shiny

Purple is definitely the way to go, a lot better than Autosol
