I think he used Autosol for the muffler tips, or at least that is a product he used to use. I have used that for cleaning inside the tips and outside too and it's great. Highly recommend cleaning the inside of the tips all the time, first time is going to take a while if it's never been done before but after that you only need to use a damp cloth each time, maybe autosol again every couple of months.

Yeh, The material on the muffler tips (stainless steel) is very different to grille and side skirts which is thinly painted chrome, so no abrasive polishes.

Yo Hame, FB is messing up.

What's that interior dash cleaner told me to get again. The one I can just pickup in the shops not the one you use from your online sources. The one that's really good for the "average Joe"
