A few posts ago somebody commented on how our Speed 3's exhaust tips were looking really dirty. I had actually noticed that, too, and planned to clean them up. I finally got around to doing it yesterday. See, all nice and shiny now.
I tried Eagle One Never Dull for the first time. It was super easy to use and worked great. The bumper's exhaust cutouts are still a bit dirty, but we can probably get that taken care of at the next wash.

Check the GTI's tail pipes too, these DI turbo cars run pretty rich...

I loved using that stuff on the exhaust tips on my SRT-4. Same with metal parts under the hood if you have any.
Unfortunately with my RX-8 I have the Greddy SE exhaust and I don't know how to keep it looking shiny and new looking other than soap and water... which still doesn't make it as shiny.
This is how it looked new (don't have one of my pictures offhand when it was new):

Blue Magic also does a good job.

Love that stuff too. I apply it with an old sock. Works great.

Does this stuff work on allow wheels that are not painted but just polished (12 years ago)?

There's a way to fix this issue once for all... black out the exhaust tips.
Done it on my car and it works great AND looks great too.

Thank you! Finally some people who realize that you have to polish your exhaust tips after you wash your car. Everyone whose car I wash makes fun of me for doing that because "no one notices." I also polish the aluminum rear control arms and section of stainless exhaust pipe that's visible in the wheel well of my car after each wash.
