I was quoted $100 for coating my exhaust tips by my detailer who had already coated my car with ceramic pro silver package. I noticed the tips get black easily especially when I use sport+ mode that makes the exhaust pop the loudest. Does coating the tips really help with maintaining it cleaner because my concern is the heat will remove it. However he mentions multiple layers to protect it more.

To answer your question, yes it helps a lot.
I'm using 'Rim Stance' from Kamikaze, its specially developed for high temp areas/applications. Seems to be holding up well after a few months. Very noticeably easier to clean. |

Nice! My deatiler uses Ceramic pro so in this case he would use the Rim Coating to withstand the heat. I'm emailing ceramic pro to see what they have to say too.

I did an "experiment" last few months to see if driving in Sport only and no Comfort would help, and it did, but only marginally. |

I can't speak from M2 experience yet but I would assume it's like with my 228i, due to valves in the exhaust only opening at certain times causes the pipes to get dirty unevenly.

Hello tux2005, did you receive you M2 ? If not what boat was it on ? Mine was on "Glovis conductor" ugliest name for a boat. I'm waiting for it now.

So what are you guys using to clean off that soot? I have used several products, wax, turtle wax grime remover, Magic Erase Sponges, penetrating oil, etc. It's a bitch to get them clean.

GYEON RIM will work on the exhaust tips.
Resist very high temperature and optimal for rims and calipers. Made the treatment on my M2 and the break dust is very easy to remove. The gloss is awesome! |

I just give it a quick scrub with my car wash sponge when I'm doing the back. It seems to come back off. If I really want to shine them, I hit them with some Never-Dull. I've never had a problem cleaning them.
