I'm using some Blue Magic chrome polish, and while it gets the tips nice and shiny, it soots up relatively quickly. If Nevr Dull reduces that problem, I'd be willing to try it, although I have a feeling our engines just produce that much heat/exhaust.

I just got some Nevr Dull - thanks for the tip, it works great. I was able to find it at the Advance Auto Parts near me. Probably more than Wal-Mart, but I'd pay double to be able to avoid that parking lot especially around the holidays!

put me down for neverdull as well. It's not a paste, it's some sort of fiber stuff that has a coating that you rub onto metal. It rubs out the grime instantly. You just rip some out of the container and work the exhaust, only takes about 30 seconds to do both, then wipe the exhaust clean with a shop rag.

I'm using Blue Magic, but only b/c someone in my family bought the bottle. Everyone here seems to have a fondness for NevrDull, so I would probably go with that. Unless there's something super-magical about it, they all sound like they work similarly, though. G'luck. BTW, welcome to the forum.

Someone posted here recently that after cleaning their exhaust tips, inside and out, they followed with a coat or two of the same Zaino protectant they use on their paint.
I haven't tried it but I intend to. Zaino Z-2, Z-3 and Z-5 are very resistant to picking up dirt. Most stuff just slides right off. I've never had a car stay as clean as my Zainoed RX8.
I don't know how it'll withstand the heat, but even if it ignites it'll look pretty cool on the highway!

Stuck in a love triangle
Guys I used Nevr Dull as suggested and while it did remove 90% of the soot on my tips - there were still little spots of soot that it didnt seem to have any affect on. Keep in mind that Im the typeof lazy sonof abitch that lets the soot build up on thetips for months w/o ever properly addressing them w/stuff like Nevr Dull. Could it be that some spots of my tips are just too stained for Nevr Dull to quell or isthere something Im not doing right? Its not reallya big deal b/c finally for once in my cars existence you can see more chrome than soot on the tips - but I was just under the impression that Nevr Dull was going to take care of everything.

Hey guys, because of your suggestions on this product, I decided to give it a go. It's hella cheap so I figure, if it sucked, no big deal. Anyways, I'm quite happy with the results. The pics don't quite do the exhaust justice but regarless, works nicely.
