About 50 spirited miles return in Dynamic mode gets mine a bit dirty so I just wipe them down
Ha! Glad to know I'm not the only one I usually wipe the pipes every 50 miles or every 3rd drive when I see the soot building up.
After seeing some forum posts about the struggles of cleaning the baked on exhaust particulates, a quick 30 second wipe-down seems like a no-brainer!
V6S RWD Coupé (MY16) Italian Racing Red w/Black Pack & Pano-roof
Loads of toys & goodies... but no heated seats
Nice DOC IW! North Devon or South Devon?
I've long wanted to take mine to the South Hams, for a nice little trip on the coastal road through Torcross. Our other car has been clipped that many times by bad driving down there, on the narrow parts, that it does put me off a bit!
I often pass a nice F Type convertible that lives not too far from Blackpool Sands - shout out to that person if they're on here!

Yeah, don’t go mad with the Autoglym, but a spot of WD40 helps to keep them easy to clean.
My wife has some kind of citrus and white clay paste in a tub in the kitchen. She uses it to clean ceramics, quartz tops, tiles, the steel cooker etc. seems it's a really mild abrasive and acid.
I nabbed a miniscule bit, just once, and it worked wonders in seconds on the V6 pipes. It saves me from buying fancy metal polishing compounds, or from losing them in the mess that I call a garage.

We visit South Devon quite a few times a year and often pay Teignmouth a visit.
The B3192, while not quite being a thrilling route, is a nice climb up out of Teignmouth to the main road.

Yep, I dutifully made a right din going up there as we headed home!
