Tailpipe soot
what is the best method to clean the soot off the right side tailpipe ? looks odd to have one side dirtier than the other .
I don't ride in sport mode that often to balance the flow although it does sound nicer . |

On my F36 with chrome tailpipes, I always used Eagle One Wipe and Shine on a near-daily basis, even during the winter. Once per week, I hit the pipes with a little cleaner wax as well. The consistency of keeping them clean seems to be more important than the product - once the soot gets baked on, it's a bear to clean off.
I haven't tried this, but I wonder if a coating of Opti-Seal would help.

I agree. the more you do it, the not as strong a cleaner is needed. Hell, I found baby wipes work in a pinch if you do it almost daily. and last time I washed my car, there was a weeks worth on the pipes, and the soapy water was enough to clean it off.
definitely agree a coating of something will definitely deter the soot from adhering over long periods though. whatever it takes to keep these cars looking sweet. |
