Nick was generous enough to gift me a jar of this new exhaust cleaner if I would review it. I have a 2011 Infiniti G37 in for a correction and it was the perfect candidate. I would call these tips mildly neglected. Here's the left side tip:

I used it as directed with the new yellow Lake Country sponge. Here's a 50/50, left side is cleaned:

The yellow sponge didn't seem to have enough oomph to get off all of the grit from the tip, so I grabbed some 0000 steel wool and used that with the product. This was much better. The tip seemed a bit scratched after so I used the yellow sponge for a second round of cleaning. I was very happy with this result:

Here's some progression pics of the right side tip:

And this is what the sponge looks like after a good scrub:

Overall, I liked this product. With the steel wool it made fast work of a neglected exhaust tip. It has a nice lemon smell and a little bit of it goes a long way. One jar will easily last a season or two of regular car cleaning, depending on how many cars you have. I personally keep my own tips in a lot better shape than these and I have no doubt that this product with the yellow sponge is all you would need to keep your tips clean when used regularly.
