Washing
Prepare a mixture of water and mild
soap. Do not use a high alkaline
content soap as commonly found at
commercial car washes because it
leaves a residue.
Wash the exhaust system with a soft
cloth. Do not use an abrasive
scouring pad or steel wool. They will
damage the finish.
Rinse the exhaust system thoroughly.
Ensure no soap or water enters the
mufflers.

Drying

Dry the exhaust system as far as
possible with a soft cloth. Do not run
the engine to dry the system or
spotting will occur.
