Looking for advice on best way / method of restoring the standard exhaust tips on both the C4S and Turbo please...

Lots of unsightly carbon deposits as original units on both 2002 models.

Someone has recommend soaking in brake fluid for c.10mins, others say WD40 and some elbow grease?

Also seen wheel cleaner as a potential solution?

Autosol usually works a treat on exhaust tips
 
As above ^^^^^^^^

I've done a few sets. I normally soak them for an hour in all purpose cleaner, scrape off any tar spots with a plastic scraper or soak them in Tardis, rub the insides down with a brillo pad and then put an attachment on the drill using solvol autosol.

Works a treat for me...

Here's a link to a polishing wheel:

Autosol worked a treat...

Then masked up the outer edges and resprayed the insides matt black with heat resistant paint...
