chrome and brushed metal
 

Ok i have 2004 a6, it has the dual exhaust, i would like to know how to clean the tail pipes to their original finish becasue they don't shine as much and i have used chrome cleaner as well, is there a trick to making them POP and shine like new? And that brushed metal rear trim piece on the rear trunk, what is the best way to clean and make that look new, it kinda is cloudy like, thanks,

Just about any chrome polish will make them good as new.

Thanks,what about that brushed metal piece on the rear trim, since that is not chrome..

It's most likely covered in clear coat, so use your car polish, or do a small part with the chrome polish.

i used stainless oven and sink cleaner on my tips, worked awesome! i used it on my previous car's exhaust too. its still shiny to this day 4 years later

I used blue magic metal polish on my tips and they look brand spanking new. takes a little elbow grease but it's well worth it!

when did you guys/gals think about the rest of th exhaust system?? I clean mine down every 6 months and respray it with heat resistant paint and its outlasted the warranty ( do the work under the car as well as the top );)
