How to Get Rid of Rust on an Exhaust Pipe

The exhaust pipe of your car may accumulate rust due to extensive rain exposure. The rust will eat away at the metallic components and cause holes to form in the exhaust system. A damaged exhaust pipe may emit a loud noise as the engine is engaged. If your exhaust system has already formed rust, perform a few basic techniques to scrub the components clean. Avoid costly car repair bills by cleaning your exhaust pipe on a regular basis.

Instructions

1

Carry the rust-removal supplies to the back end of your vehicle. Kneel down to view the exhaust system found under the trunk of your car. Locate the cylinder-shaped component known as the exhaust pipe.

2

Spray the rust-removal product onto the exhaust pipe of your vehicle. Rub the piece of steel wool around the length of the exhaust pipe. Repeat the process until the pipe retains its original metallic color.

3

Rub the cotton cloth around the exhaust pipe to remove any debris. Examine the length of the pipe to ensure you have gotten rid of the accumulated rust. Repeat the scrubbing process if necessary.
