What Exhaust Tip Polishing Covers

Heat discolouration and road grime dull exhaust tips over time. We strip the buildup and machine-polish the metal back to a bright, mirror shine that finishes off the rest of the detail. Stainless steel and chrome tips both develop a bluish or brownish haze from repeated heat cycles, and normal washing never fully removes it since the discolouration sits in the metal’s surface, not just on top of it.

It’s a small detail, but a dull, stained tip stands out against an otherwise freshly washed and polished car. Restoring the shine here is one of the quickest ways to make a full exterior detail look genuinely finished.

Our Process

1. Inspection — technician checks the metal type and extent of discolouration or staining.
2. Strip buildup — carbon soot and grime cleared from the tip, inside and out.
3. Machine polish — a metal polishing compound worked in with a buffer to cut through oxidation.
4. Hand finish — edges and tight spots finished by hand for an even shine.
5. Protective wipe — a light metal sealant applied to slow new staining from heat.
