Default Purple Metal Polish on Z06 Exhaust Tips

When I got my car the exhaust tips were dull and wicked faded looking. My father uses Purple Metal Polish on his Peterbilt, so I tried the Purple on my exhaust tips and this is what I got,

Very Nice. Where can you find that polish? My TIs never looked that good. Now I have stingers and they turn pretty black after a H/C and no cats. I need something that will take the filth off and get those bad boys shining again.

My Ti tips have turned purple from all of the heat built up during long track sessions. Will this polish remove the purple coloring?

Mothers Billet takes all my exhaust off my Chrome Corsa tips. 1 wipe and its gone. I polish the inside of my tips and people are amazed at how shiny they are. Its amazing how easy the exhaust stains come off with this stuff.

Get it practically any pepboys, or walmart. Im sure other places have it too.

Hi Toque,

I use the same...Mother's Billet Metal Polish...it's great stuff. I use it (inside and outside) on the exhaust tips. I also use it on the CCW's with a Mother's polish ball.

Crazy shine!
