I bought this Corvette used. The exhaust appears to have been neglected. What and how is the preferred method of cleaning it?
Many thanks in advance.

Tried Mothers and it did not do the trick.

Agree and in the (loud mod) only the middle two get black inside.

Needing the most cleaning.

Used a lot of stuff on mine and finally went to Brasso...worked on my Navy belt buckles, works on my zaust tips.

To clean the tips, I use Nevr-Dull

there is a kit put out by several of the vendors; it includes simichrome which has been around for a long time, and I think also some kind of power brush that adds onto a drill or buffing tool. I'd use the Mother's smaller red cone and go to town w. the simichrome. Using nevrdull sometimes can take a long time altho it does chemically work. The tips will shine but remember that they are stainless not chrome-plated and may not get to the level of chrome.

I've seen those kits out there and wondered how well they worked, just never got around to getting one and yes Nver-Dull takes some time and elbow grease if you don't keep up on it.

Jeez, I said Brasso but I meant Nevr-Dull.

Semichrome with a Mothers power ball and a drill will clean them up. Once you get them clean, even an oily rag will remove the carbon fairly easily. I check my oil about every fill up, and I use the filling station oily napkin to wipe the pipes clean before I throw it away.
