How to Remove Blue Stains on Exhaust Pipes
- 1). Park your vehicle on a level, flat surface --- driveway, parking lot or other area. Let the vehicle cool completely to keep from getting burned by a hot exhaust pipe(s).
- 2). Wipe your vehicle's exhaust pipe(s) with a clean soft cloth or towel to remove any loose dust and dirt from the pipe(s)s. Wear work gloves to keep debris off of your hands.
- 3). Wet a soft, white scrub pad with cold water then wring out excess water. Using a dyed scrub pad will transfer the color of the pad onto your pipe's finish. White scrub pads are also softer and non-abrasive.
- 4). Apply 2 to 3 tbsp. of chrome polish to the wet scrub pad. The water activates the polish. Rub the polish onto the blue stain in a back and fourth motion as hard as you can. Do not rub the blue stain in a circular motion --- this will not break up the oxidation. Repeat step until the blue stain is gone.
- 5). Wipe the exhaust pipe with a clean, soft cloth or towel to remove excess chrome polish and debris.
- 6). Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each blue stain present on your vehicle's pipes. Only wet the scrub pad if it becomes completely dry --- too much water will cause the chrome polish to not work properly.
