Polished exhaust
 
What do you guys use to get off the carbon build up on the exhaust tips on the transom. I tried purple power does nothing.

Have you tried using a metal polish? White Diamond or Mothers are good.

Autosol is a thick paste metal polish. Amazing results with minimal effort.

Spray lime away on was with soap and water, comes off so easy. Rinse really good.

Are you talking black carbon build up?? I've never had anything like that, just chalky mineral build up.
I'd try Brake Clean if its black build up

What do you guys use to bring back a aluminum trailer? Have a evolution that needs some cleaning up. Used a polish and it turn rag black fast so I think it's not sealed.

CLR in a spray bottle, I think its a chemical reaction that makes it work, so spray on agitate and repeat until its clean...it will take a few times with that process,

3M Metal Restorer and Polish is the best thing I've found for cleaning tailpipes.
