OEM or Aftermarket both gets cleaned and makes a big difference to a clean car.

WOW! Cleaning the exhaust tips are A LOT harder than what I thought! Results didn't come out as great as i would have liked them to. I spent around 90 mins! I guess the products i was using weren't that great.

Eagle One Original Never Dull Wadding Polish and Bluemagic Metal Polish Creme. Those are the only things I could get my hands on right away.

If it was never cleaned before / extremely dirty you'll have to clean it multiple passes before it starts to clear up. Never dull is alright, I find that Meguiars 105 polishes and shines the exhaust tips a ton better.

What was your process? Do you have any before and after pictures? I'll post some pictures of before and after using Meguiars #105 when I clean up the car.

I already use the Meguiars #105. It works awesome. Pictures are a bit grainy to tell anything.

I'm kind of surprised the Eagle one didn't work for you....I used to use it on my old car, and still haven't replaced it after the fire, but it always worked a treat for me. The petroleum stank always spooked me a little though

Do you have any pictures? Would love to see how it turned out for you. It went okay for me.
