Time to polish those pipes

Mine get tons of carbon buildup as well (2013 R60). I have black tips so it's not obvious, but it's definitely there.
Cleaning tips: Get the following items:
Start by spraying the wheel cleaner in and around the tip. Let it sit for a minute then agitate with the wheel brush. Spray some water in there after agitation to rinse the crud out. Follow it up with a spray of Simple Green. Place the microfiber towel around the wheel brush and agitate again. This'll get the little bits that the stiff brush left behind. Rinse again.
Then attach the powercone to your drill. dunk the powercone into soapy water. Put it inside the tip and spin it. This gets the inside pretty darn clean.
You can clean the outside with the same products. It typically doesn't need it as bad and a simple wipedown with simple green and a microfiber is usually good enough. You can always shine it up with the chrome polish as well, if it needs it.
I've used Borla Exhaust Cleaner and a Drill Polishing Tool
I'll admit I only did a small section several years ago but it took no more than 30 seconds. I've found hand polishing takes plenty of time and several passes to bring back the luster.
I’m a big fan of keeping my DeWalt drill plus one of [these](Mothers 05146 PowerCone Metal Polishing Tool https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001MXTOKQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_A.eWAb82CBSTZ)
for those days when my hard to reach places need a little extra cleaning.
