Just the tip

On my own lazyness I haven't detailed the tip on my truck in a good two years. I keep my normal wash wax vacuum as I always have but the polished tip just got overwhelming when I was working at the port here in Camden. For whatever reason there is what I assume is steel dust on ever street within three miles of the port and it gets this tacky black residue all over your vehicle and it took me leaving there, two gallons of simple green and a hot pressure washer to finally get my truck clean after working there. Anyways I said flip on the tip when I started there and today I was like "frig Mike, you are SLACKING!" So here what an hour and a half of all hand cleaning/polishing got me

Looks good. I used to polish the pipes on my fox body Mustang, but my truck still has the stock exhaust and polishing it wouldn't do much good.
