Bar Keepers Friend works on my pots/pans, and it works on the muffler easily with minimal effort. $2.49 at Ross

If you are getting “black” soot on your muffler tip, there are two reasons:
- long oil servicing
and
- running a bit too rich

But, we all do like clean looking exhausts no doubt

I think that just may be the nature of the 1.5T Mine gets dirty very quickly and has been that way since the very beginning.

Mine also is getting black and I only have 3k miles on my 2019- this is completely normal.

Never Dull is one I recommend too, works perfectly.

Yup, mines flaking too. Dealer wants to repaint it. I’m thinking of getting them to strip it off.

What I've learned from this is, if I wash my car frequent enough, wheel cleaner is good enough.
Got to be the strong kind though, like AMMO Plum and Sonax wheel cleaner.
