Newbie Cleaning
 

I have a 2012 Z 6MT with sports package. For cleaning purposes I want to confirm the wheel and exhaust tip composition before buying my cleaning supplies. Any help would be appreciated.

Are the exhaust tips chrome or aluminum?
Are the rims on the sports package aluminum alloy, forged alloy, coated v. Non coated?

I have a 2012 Z 6MT with the sports package. What are my rims and exhaust tips made of. I want to buy cleaning materials for both.

Are the exhaust tips chrome or aluminum?
Are the rims aluminum, forged alloy, coated v.uncoated?

Any help would be much appreciated.

The tips are stainless steel and the wheels are coated forged aluminum alloy. Treat the wheels like you would paint(clear coated).

Good answer. Always blows my mind when I see people using super-harsh chemicals or brushes on their wheels. If you wouldn't use it on your hood, don't use it on your wheels.

Thanks.

I'm an experienced detailer, hence, the knowledge. :)

Use Blue Magic for the exhaust tips if you want a super clean and shiny look. I applied this stuff on the dirtiest exhaust I've ever seen and the results were awesome.

Cleaning Chrome/metal Pipes
 

Hey, I have a Z with Fast Intentions exhaust and after the first 1-2K miles they started looking dirty. I found Flitz is the best polishing paste for the job. I am not a sales guy, just passing on my experience. Easy to use and the final finish is as good if not better than they looked new. I even used it on my stock G37 pipes that had not been cleaned in two years. It brought them back to the shine that I had forgotten.
