100s of threads on this. Autosol with a MF cloth or 000 wool if very bad.

Use some wheel cleaner along with some sort of wheel brush firstly then tar remover,this should break down a lot of soot,then use Aluminium autosol, not the one for stainless steel...too abrasive, dont use wire wool along with autosol as you'll scratch the chrome all too ****....you can get microfiber cones that attach to a cordless drill...this'll save a lot of elbow grease ....

I have used Autosol on my S4 as well as A3 and most recently tried Bar Keepers Friend on the neglected A3 exhust tips and tbh I was blown away. They were not touch in over a year and since I detailed the car last year.

Bar Keepers was recommended by @A4A4, it didn't require to much of elbow grease at all however and as @jassyo06 mentioned above I did use BH Alloy cleaner on the exhaust tips while washing it just to breakdown the soot.

Yep bar keepers is fantastic

I used tar remover first

Metal polish & a cheap £1.00 cone shaped toilet brush from Aldi or Liddle. Cut the handle in half & then clamp it in the chuck of an electric drill & a quick & easy way to clean the inside of the exhaust.
