Introduction:
Don't you hate it when your exhaust tips are black from all the soot produced by your engine? What makes it worse is when you see this on a properly detailed vehicle. Even if the exhaust tips is only a small object relative to the entire car, it becomes an eyesore when it's dirty.
Low and behold Pinnacle's new exhaust cleaner and brightener. A product that cleans your exhaust tips and shines them really well. This review is long overdue but my car isn't driven everyday and I have always cleaned up my exhaust tips after every wash. So I had to let some exhaust soot build up for this review. I asked a co-worker to let me clean his C7 Vette exhaust tips but no bueno...
The Review:
Here's a picture of the product description and instructions:
The product description intrigued me a lot. A product that polishes the exhaust tips to a mirror finish and leaves a protective coating to make future cleaning easier?! Sign me up please!
Here are before pictures of my exhaust tips:
As you can see, the tips are pretty black and well coated with soot. Just imagine seeing that from a clean and shiny vehicle. It just makes the detail incomplete like something's missing.
When you remove the lid of the product, you are greeted with a very pleasant smell. It's not overpowering at all. I can't exactly pinpoint the smell but it's very good. I would consider the product on the thick side. It has body to it and it doesn't drip at all.
Here I am picking up the cleaner using the Lake Country exhaust polishing sponge. As you can see, the product stays put.
Apply the product on your dirty exhaust tips and agitate it gently using the Lake Country exhaust sponge like so:
As I'm rubbing the sponge/product against the exhaust tips, you can see how it's cleaning the surface after every stroke. Little by little, you will see some shine emerge. Here's the sponge after cleaning one exhaust tip:
50/50:
After:
As you can see, the exhaust tips turned out pretty shiny! In fact, the finish looks like a mirror!
Overall, this product works well and exactly as advertised. You can't argue with the results it produced. The product is also a joy to work with because it has a pleasant smell and good consistency. Removal of the product is a breeze too. The only con I can see with this product is the price.
