A turndown exhaust tip will keep your bumper and trailer clean.

I had the same problem and like surfram suggested. I put a turndown tip on mine and the problem was eliminated.

If your rear bumper is getting stained imagine how the cars behind you feal?

I just noticed mine is getting pretty bad. Truck could use a good washing so tommorw i'll kill two birds with one stone.

Scrub off the soot, are you kidding?! Soot on the bumper is like a badge of honor! The sootier the bumper, the better!

I use Mothers. It's not a chrome polish but it does work really good getting the soot off there.
