Are you kidding me? I'd never use steel wool. Simichrome & elbow grease or a cotton rag on a drill polisher. Wow. I'm shocked anyone would suggest that. But I'm in Fla on vacation & have seen two c6's with no chrome tips. One had a rusted exhaust. I'm still shocked. Steel wool? Shameful.

I totally understand your reasoning and it makes total sense ,,,don't really agree with he shameful thing though..A bit much,,, Maybe that's what people were told and trusted that the info was correct..To each his own.

Anyone ever use neverdull on their pipes? That's what I use and it keeps them very shiny.

Try a cleaner made for stainless steel barbeques. Spray on, wipe off.

I have been using this for years. It is unreal how easy it is, Some one turned me on to it years ago to clean my Harley Aluminum Wheels. Been hooked on it eve since Now they make it in a liquid . The powder still works just as good but the liquid is faster.

Got the simichrome kit - don't like it at all. Takes for ever and does not do a good job for me. I think I will try the brasso but NO WAY would I consider steel wool. I agree that's asking for trouble down the line.

Mother's Chrome Polish and a toothbrush. 5 minutes every few thousand miles and they look as good as any picture I've seen here. i.e. #19 above still has a few spots inside and are not mirror shiny yet.

Wenol metal polish works great.

Glad to see others are using Bar Keepers. Easy and inexpensive. I use it to clean and the use GM chrome cleaner to polish. The pics show the results just with the Bar Keepers - my first cleaning after I bought my '07.

Rubbing steel on steel (even 000 steel wool) probably isn't ideal if you want your exhaust tips to remain pristine. I'm not fanatical about it but I prefer the Scotchbrite pads with Brasso. I first clean the soot out of the exhaust tips with shop towels dampened with a 50/50 mixture of ammonia and Windex (a tip I learned from movie armorers for cleaning black powder residue from firearms). Then for any remaining hard spots I use Brasso and a Scotchbrite pad followed by normal polishing using soft cloths and Brasso.

I didn't know we cared about cleaning the inside of the exhaust... Really? People spend time cleaning that?

YES

Just a toothbrush and a little water to make the solution a paste

I've always used 00 steel wool and then buffed with Mothers polish...the wool gets the little black specs off nicely, then the Mothers shines it up.
