Why is everyone who drives SLOWER than me an IDIOT, and everyone who drives FASTER a MANIAC?

Shiny pipes
A while ago I decided I should really clean my exhaust tips--they were getting pretty black. You can check here for more details. I also made some minor updates to my dedicated R32 site on the weekend.
Looks good. Do you notice that it gets dirty quickly? I've read that if there is soot on the pipes, it means the car is running rich. Mine gets noticeable soot after a week of driving.
Interesting, I didn't know that. I'll have to start paying closer attention. When I first bought the R I remember thinking that the tips were always shiny--which is why I stopped paying attention and was surprised when I finally noticed they'd gotten black.

Use anything special on them?
After a normal wash, I just used a chrome and metal polish from Einszett.
