seafoam, you should look it up, there are so many threads out there.

True, check out seafoam.

 

WAIT....Seafoam on the bumper....NO!

The residue on the bumper is probably oil or you are running really rich.

Extend the exhaust tip so it sticks out more. Or bend it down.

No, they mean Seafoam in your vacuum line and crankcase, possibly your gas tank to burn away carbon deposits.

 

Is that really going to stop the build-up on the bumper?

I wanted to get it straight for the OP.

 

seafoam ftl... i wouldnt suggest using it on anything over 100k miles.

 

the z6 is a vtec motor and i know when vtec cracks it does turn your bumper a lil bit black. seafoam sounds right also.

Exactly use seafoam to clean up carbon deposits internally. My Buddy uses some high industrial wax but not sure how long it lasts for.

 

3M marine cleaner is the s**t to take off surface stuff and get things clean... off the surface...i had the same problem with my z6 and just polished my bumper when i washed my car.

 

um, extend exhuast, easy as that, or bend down just like dude said. Ive never had that problem and my cars sucks down fuel being bosoted. oh, and engine had 175k miles. not gonna be carbon build up just cause its 100K miles old, if you rev the **** outa them every day like most people do, there is no carbon build up, pistons wont be silver no more, but aint no damn carbon build up...its coming from fuel more than likely....or burning oil.
