Re: How do you clean titanium exhausts?
I was just reading an article which suggested that there is no good way to extinguish a titanium fire. Halon and water can cause dangerous explosions. Burial in salt or sand is the best option, where practical.
So, maybe a blowtorch with plenty of oxygen would work well....

Re: How do you clean titanium exhausts?
On my Ti Renegades, I used to use Autoglym Tar Remover, then wash with normal shampoo. That will maintain the matt finish on the titanium. No point in using polishing products such as brasso / autosol / etc as titanium oxidises immediately back to matt (IIRC) and ends up looking patchy.

Cola is great at cleaning loads of things. I keep a can in my webbing on range days to pop the gas working parts of an SA80 or LSW rifles into, saves loads of cleaning time
