It may sound weird, and others have posted better solutions to the cleaning exhaust thing... But when I got my takeoffs they were really gunky (off a 06) and gross, I used WD-40 on them and bam, a lot of the tarnish and some of the gunk even came off.

Not polished clean, but after letting it sit on the tip for a while, a good amount of the garbage came off.

I use Meguiars all metal cleaner, I'll post a pic of it up later, made my exhaust tip look like a mirror!

 

Another question.

I bought 1/8th inch PVC pipe welting for my door panels,
but as I thought, it won't stay in the panels..
I heard it's something to do with how my door doesn't have the vinyl insert.


So question is, how can I get it to stay...
is there a vinyl door insert I can buy somewhere relatively cheap?

 

Could you spray some mild adhesive to the welt then try it?

 

Not really a question just a heads up, I was detailing my car today and noticed the paint on my Stack Racing black billet grille from AM is coming off. :/ I have recommend this grille to many people, so thought I should put the info out there.

I think ill get it powder coated or painted now. My tri-bar grille emblem still looks great.
