Good day! The sun is shining, and Zaino-days will return to Mid-Michigan soon. Anyone have any hot tips for making the stock chrome exhaust tips look great? Thanks.

On my dual dual tips I used 2000 grit sandpaper and wet sanded to smooth out the imperfections. Then I used Mothers Mag and Chrome polish to shine them up. Takes some elbow grease but they looked like they were chrome when I was done.

The dual/duals are stainless, not chrome. White scotchbrite and some cleaner does wonders, then follow up with some polish. Triple ought steel wool with some cleaner works on the chrome tips.

I know the tips arent chrome - I used the mag and chrome polish on them and it worked really well - and now they LOOK like chrome, although now I have the nickel plated Loudmouth tips so it doesn't matter anyway!

I use Mothers mag wheel polish on mine.

I use Mothers polish on my Borla Chrome tips on the SS and on the Chrome tips on the Z06. It works very well for me. Also, I Z6 them when I do the car.
