Basically I start by soaking the insides of the pipes with some 5:1 APC and then get stuck in with various brushes. I have a smallish toilet brush that has some very stiff bristles which works really well.

After that I rinse and apply a second coating of APC and then scrub this up with some special pads I have. They are the designed to put scratch finishes on stainless steel for apllicances, etc but they work amazingly well on the inside of tailpipes

After that it's a final rinse and light buff with a metal polish to try and bring up the shine a little


Lemme know if you wanting some of the pads and I will get them off to you
