Exhaust tip detail

Did a quick detail on my BMW F11 exhaust yesterday, they had a good 5 years of dirt and sod burned to them(its a diesel so there is a lot of sod), so the plan was never to make them like new, pretty sure that they was to far gone, but wanted to get rid of all the grime and sod as well as making them shiny again

Dont have any pictures of the process, i forgot, but at least i have before and after

1: Wash and soak with Bilt Hamber Korrosol to loosne light dirt and sod.
2: Polish with wirewool 0000 and Bilt Hamber Korrosol to remove all the sod that was burned to the exhaust tip
3: Polish with wirewool 0000 and Sonus Chrome Polish to get the shine back
4: Fninished of with 3 layers of Poorbuys Wheelsealant

It actually turned out really well, all the sod and grime are gone and they sine like a chrome exhaust tip should

similar adventure
Chemical Guys wheel cleaner (don't remember which one I've got)
000 wire pad
soap and brush
finish with CG light metal polish

the one on the left is the "before", right = "after"

2014 F10 535, I don't think the tips had been cleaned....ever

next I work on our 2016 X5; I think I'll get a good start and keep them clean now that I know how easy it is to do.....
