The chrome tips on my 2018 TTS are pretty full of carbon. The interior ones are really bad. We had a warmer day and I had a chance to go over the car pretty well, but those tips are rough, pitted, can't get the carbon off and are losing the finish when I wipe with a rag and chrome polish.
I had kept them pristine until December, so this is only 4 months of not being able to keep them clean, but they are pretty bad.
What are people using to clean their tips after a winter of build up? I dorve less than 1000 miles in the winter, so I I'm not sure why these are so bad.
Paul, it is indeed tedious to keep your exhaust tips clean in a northern Winter. Alas just four months of having salt in direct and continuous contact will do much damage given everything else they withstand in use. Hopefully you’re not beyond the point of recovery. But if so aftermarket replacement cost isn’t too steep. There are many good, quick and easy chrome cleaners, so once used you’ll readily know where you stand.
