ive tried everything...and its still full of stuff...looks like tar but it wont come off....ive used.....never dull, soap and water, gas, alcohol, dawn, scrubbing bubbles, laquer thinner, wd40, carb cleaner, and a few other things and i still can't get it off...it actually almost looks like the tips are loosing the chrome on the edges where the carbon is....any help would be great since they look like a$$ right now..thanks

 

anytime ive had tar on the truck, like rocker panels on the door, etc....not real sure on chrome though. Ive always used keroscene to get it off, and it comes right off. then give it a really good wash. Thats how I get it off, but then again i dont really wash my truck all that often either...

 

you think if i soaked it in kerosene overnight it would eat through the tips?

 

Yikes, no idea. Where exactly is this tar and other gunk?? on the inside, or outside

 

I use never dull. You just have to be willing to spend an hour or two on them. The tar takes some rubbing to come off.

 

nevr dull gets my vote as well

 

This is what I use along with elbow grease:



Just be sure to get the scratch resistant kind.

 

all the tar is on the outside...

 

Scotchbrite will scratch the HELL out of the finish on the stainles steel polished Roush tips. I do not recommend that method.

 

That's why I said to get the scratch resistant kind...I use them all the time and my tips look good as new.

 

I still won't use that stuff on polished chrome tips, even if it's scratch resistant. It's a scouring pad.

 

id try the keroscene on an incospicuous area to see what it does w/ the chrome, and how it does when they get hott after running around. The keroscene will take it right off, im fairly sure of that, just not so sure w/ the chrome.

 

Well, whatever.....just offering some advice on what works for me. I get great results with them on my Roush tips

 

If its tar you could just use a clay bar, I assume.

 

I use goo off or whatever that stuff is that comes in the yellow can.
