Any one have idea on Keeping rust off R/T chrome tail pipe.I live in OH.And the salt keeps rusting the tip,I tried wax,but that don't help much.If I use Dupont Chrome Cleaner it scratch's it up.

I know this sounds crazy...but I used to use the same polish for my Buckles on my Meg's (Chrome) Tips. The salty air in Santa Cruz (when I still lived there) was hell on chrome tips (as well as other parts of the trucks body).

SOS Pad? Ouch!
What type of wax are you using? I'm surprised that the wax stays on for more than 10 miles...those tips get pretty hot. ;)

JT--it would be cheaper to use #80 sand paper,than a SOS pad...and you wouldn't need any water.Thanks for the tip,know pun intended.HeHeHe

Just get some stainless steel tips. They cost alittle more but will last much longer.
