Just curious - I have seen a few pictures posted lately with nice, clean trucks and dirty tips.
I clean mine each time I wash, and wipe out the black soot every few days.

'bout once a week. Polish the outsides up and a 'little bit' on the insides(NOT overly concerned with the insides). Good enough.

if you wipe the black soot out at least once a week, and keep them polished, then they are easy to keep looking good. I used Mothers mag polish on both the inside, and the outside of my stock tips. With the MAC I have now, the tips stay relatively clean since they are mounted up out of the way of most road debris.

That would be me. And yes, I've been yelled at for it. It's not that I don't want to. I just forget! I'll try to do better.

I know you guys are not going to believe me but EVERYDAY I wipe down the insides of the pipes.
If you do not believe me ask Fast gator or Captainoblivios or any body else who as ever seen my truck.The insides is NEVER dirty.
It is funny more then one person has said "man, you run the truck lean" and I tell them it is just clean.

I would get some 3M glass foaming glass cleaner i will never use windex again. I have had for months on my windows little pieces of the white letters that we write on the windows for drag racing. I must have tryed with windex a 1000 times scrubbd and scrubbed couldnt get it off. Used the 3M stuff get it off first try and best part it doesnt streak. As for the spots on the body maybe try the 3M gloss enhancer i used that on my truck this weekend also and was great.

Badazz516 you shouldn't use windex from what I hear because of the amonia it turns tinted windows purple amoral has some stuff without. Have you ever tried a staight blade?

Exhaust tips inside and out with eagle one billet,windex and on the inside stell wool and same as above. I do this at least once a week if not more.
