MartynS Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Just wondering what the best way of cleaning the exhaust on the ST is? I'm guessing whatever I use will get filthy the first time it touches it and never come clean again so is something like an old rag best? Or would a cloth/microfibre be better? Also, does it need any special cleaning stuff or is water and car shampoo enough? Probably pretty stupid questions but I've never had an exhaust that's needed cleaning before! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesm182 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I have used fine wire wool before with soapy water and then autosol. Greatly improved it but couldnt get it all off. Sent from my GT-N8010 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynS Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Cheers for the tips guys, seems like I need to order some autosol! I'd read other things online about using wire wool but thought the same as Lenny regarding the scratches. Although it sounds like there's no harm now I don't know if I could bring myself to using it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
