I will tell you what i have done on mine to get rid of that, But i must make it known that i take no responsibility for any damage that you might do to yourself , your car , pets , house , lawn , or ozone layer.

I use this stuff called "spoke wash" its a real light duty acid that is used to remove brake dust and stuff from rims.

I spray it on wait about 2 minutes and then use a soft brush and wala its clean......

For the bumper soot issue, I just bent some galvanized steel sheet and bolted it to the underside of the bumper, using stock bolts.

You could use aluminum too.

Alexis's car with a Rotaflo with 4" dump tip


Here is my old exhaust, the yellow or black is from flames If you stay on top of it, and not let it build up too much, with some rubbing compound, it will come off with some elbow grease.

Why not just get someone to put on a short 45 degree angled pipe on the tip so it points down. Just a really short pipe so you dont see it from normal view??
