Metal polish for tail pipes?

tboooe · 03-14-2015, 12:24 PM

Hi guys...just wondering what polish you use for your tail pipes? Do you buy some detailing specific ones (i.e. expensive ones) or something cheaper you can get at Home Depot or Autozone?

I was looking at something like this but was wondering if its worth it.

Yes. I have this and for the tail pipe and the no-braking part of the rotors it's great for look and protect !

P21S Polishing Soap works great, comes with a plastic sponge as well.

This is what I have been using since my E92.

Works great and easy to use.

Nevr-Dull works good, or Mothers Mag and Aluminum Polish. Depends if you prefer the wadding cloth or to use your own rag. Personally I prefer the Mothers (though I keep both on hand). The wadding cloth just smells toxic to me, so I won't use it without gloves.

Borla is fantastic.

Yes, it smells like it is going to catch on fire...

I still just use it with my bare hands, and then wash them after. It puts hair on your chest... Ha

Just ordered the P21S polishing soap. I will get it on Wed and will let you guys know how it works! Thank you for the responses!

Depends if you have the mpe or not, mothers chrome polish works well on chrome tips which is what i use

Since adding black chrome tips I haven't messed with it. Prior to that I simply buffed the chrome tips with aluminum foil. That seemed to work pretty well. Not my original solution as I read it on one of the boards.

Just got my P21S polishing soap. Man it smells good. Makes me want to take shower with it! Lets hope it works as good as it smells.

Pretty much anything Optimum is going to be a good product.
