These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The exhaust tips are shiny, unlike the matte finish on the tips on my old car. Mine are crudded up with tar and other stuff, and I'm wondering whether to treat them as painted metal (claybar, bug and tar remover) or as bare stainless (mag wheel compound)? Also, the black paint inside is chipped and peeling in a couple of spots. Thinking about touching up with flat black exhaust paint. Anyone done this?

POST 2Original post

I've always used chrome polish on my C4S tips with good results. I also painted the interior with high-heat flat black engine enamel and they look spectacular.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks. As soon as my Fisters show up I'll take everything apart and do some polishing.

the paint is a good idea, would love to see a pic of that!

POST 6Original post

I doubt they are cleared, but I treat them like a painted surface. I hit them with a soft soapy sponge during my standard wash. The interior of my MY04 C4S w/ PSE tips were painted matte black when I bought it; I have to assume that's factory.

POST 9Original post

They're SS onthe exterior for sure, use whatever you want for SS. I can't be sure about the inside, but I've never seen one with rust.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
