Default Stupid Exhaust Dimples

I've got 2000 miles on the C7 and decided to polish the exhaust tips as they had dimmed a little. I used mothers metal polish which cleaned up the flanged end really nicely. The problem was getting excess polish out of those damn dimples on the inside of the tips. At first I thought they were a nice, stylish detail, now I think they are a stupid PITA. I guess I'm going to have to get one of those polishing *****.

Don't stress, it is an exhaust pipe end! I have yet to clean the inside of an exhaust pipe. No one will look or care anyway.

Try a tooth brush and some water.

There is a soft bristle detailing brush that looks like a toothbrush with a wooden handle, us that, or get the bristle brush used to clean between the wheels, I think they are sold by mothers, get a set of those and just brush...not a big deal.
