Default Exhaust cleaner for quad pipes

What do you use to clean/polish the quad exhaust tips? Seems like the inner tips get disproportionately dirtier than the outer ones...

Are generic stainless steel cleaners okay?

I use this product from Chemical Guys and it works great.

Chemical Guys - Heavy Metal Polish (16 oz)

I have tried about everything on my cars over the years and have now switched to all Chemical Guys products. Awesome stuff IMHO.
I used their " waterless wash " to wash my S3 on a 3700 mile trip we took this fall and IMO it worked great.

Cleaning the black exhaust dust on the muffler pipes of your 2013 Audi S4 can be done using a few different methods. Here are a few options you can try:
  1. Use a high-pressure washer: This is a quick and easy way to remove the majority of the black dust. Be sure to use a low pressure setting to avoid damage to the pipes.
  2. Use a special exhaust cleaner: There are several exhaust cleaners available that are specifically designed to clean and shine the muffler pipes of your car. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully, and avoid using these products on any painted or plastic surfaces.
  3. Use a mixture of baking soda and water: Mix a small amount of baking soda with water to create a paste. Use a soft bristle brush to scrub the pipes, then rinse them off with water.
  4. Use a mixture of vinegar and baking soda: Mix 1/4 cup of baking soda and 1/4 cup of white vinegar in a bowl, then use a brush to apply the mixture to the pipes. Leave it for a few minutes, then rinse it off with water.
It's always best to check your car's manual for the recommended cleaning solution for the exhaust pipe. Additionally, be sure to wear gloves and protective eyewear when cleaning the muffler pipes to avoid contact with any chemicals or debris.
