So I’ve had the F56 for around 4 months and put just over 1000mls on her, had the car detailed not long after taking delivery but have noticed a bit of carbon build up on the drivers side exhaust trim, gave the F56 it’s weekly snowfoam wash and polished the offending tip tip with autoglym super resin polish then applied a couple of coats of megs alloy wheel wax for now, just wondering what you guys do to keep the crud off the tips [emoji848]

I’ve never tried anything to try and keep my tips clean.
I just leave them throughout the Winter and then spend way longer than I’ll admit to cleaning them up in Spring.

I’ve used autosol metal polish on prior cars I’ve bought to great effect but was hoping to keep these clean without too much effort tbh [emoji849]

I use FK1000p wax on my tips once they've been polished. Remember once you've polished them you're leaving a bare surface with no protection - two coats of this helps a good bit

I use Chemical Guys metal wax and always get good results. With them cleaning up with a quick snow foam.
