Default Chrome tail pipe extensions

A bit of a light hearted one: who polishes their tail pipe extensions?
Let me explain. I quite often look at X308's for sale on auto-trader. Sometimes I see "well looked after" examples but when you look at the pics, the engine bay is dirty, the aerial is stuck half-way down, and the tail-pipe extensions are filthy.
My view is, if someone has paid attention to such details then you can be sure they would have paid attention to thing that matter.
Any views?

Yes, I got ADOS!
Attention Deficit... Oh! Shiny!

But I am also fixing everything - one Jag after another - and for good measure sometimes a Fairlane or Van for a change...

PS: My last sentence above had the purpose to confirm to you the correlation between shiny tail pipe and maintained Jag in general...

I use balled up kitchen tin foil to clean the Jag’s chrome tail pipes. Works a treat.
