Akra Titanium Tips

REP1KRR · 10-10-2013, 06:57 PM

I just bought an Akra rear section with Ti tips off a member here on the forum (M3 JP). Given my climate of rain, snow and salt in the winter, I'm not going to bother with the rest of the system.

The tips sure do clean up nicely though! This stuff is miracle ointment. Comes in a pre-moistened cotton-ish feel fiber kind of material. Tear off a chunk and go to work. Walmart for about $5, if I recall.

Nice!

thorny · 10-10-2013, 09:47 PM

I need this for sure.

M3ANMACHINE · 10-10-2013, 10:30 PM

Very nice! How much time did you spend on each tip? I just bought some to clean up mine before I sell it.

I probably spent maybe :30 min on each tip, and used about an 1/8 of the can. Not too bad.

Running to the store to buy this in the morning. Thanks for sharing buddy.

AlpineE92M3 · 10-11-2013, 07:10 AM

Wow, that cleaned up nicely!

M3 JP · 10-11-2013, 09:31 AM

Yes the tips look fantastic! I'll admit that I didn't wash them when I cleaned up the car, so that was an area of neglect. Simple things do great work! Enjoy your exhaust bro, it always put a smile on my face when I pressed the "go" button!

GOLFFRR · 10-11-2013, 09:44 AM

I need to do this! mine are filthy

geneatals · 10-11-2013, 10:33 AM

vastano · 10-11-2013, 12:11 PM

When I Never-dulled mine they didnt come out that clean...maybe i need to give it another go.

It definitely requires a little 'elbow-polish'! Put your shoulder into it.

MWM3 · 10-11-2013, 01:53 PM

gonna get this today

PINHEAD · 10-11-2013, 08:12 PM

30min each tip...
jesus

mine needs some polishing too

JR M3 · 10-12-2013, 11:50 AM

Those cleaned up nice

mkPOTO · 10-12-2013, 11:58 AM

very nice, that stuff is awesome, but stinks like high heaven!

S65V8 · 11-18-2013, 03:50 PM

I use this stuff too and it works. You should expect to wipe it down a couple times with pressure to get the heavily caked areas clean.

peeti · 11-30-2013, 06:11 PM

I just read a forum post by "the tech" of BPM fame - they said they did theirs with denatured alcohol and a brush - going to try that route first... after all it's just greasy PM10 (particulate matter 10) so alcohol should work. I have a set of Ti tips sitting around as I have the CF ones on the car - wanted to clean them up before selling. Will chime back.

Just use nvr dull. Seems like the suggested method is more time consuming than a piece of nvr dull and a mf towel

swifty · 01-14-2014, 12:05 PM

Is this safe for black ceramic coated tips?

Exclusivs · 01-26-2014, 03:47 PM

Looks great OP

Assume first washed w/ soap water?

I just used a wet MF towel to get the top layer off. Then went in with the nevr-dull.
