Grossman [7] showed that certain cyclically pinched 1-relator groups have residually finite outer automorphism groups. In this paper we prove that tree products of finitely generated free groups amalgamating maximal cyclic subgroups have residually finite outer automorphism groups. We also prove that polygonal products of finitely generated central subgroup separable groups amalgamating trivial intersecting central subgroups have residually finite outer automorphism groups.

We show that certain polygonal products of any four groups, amalgamating central subgroups with trivial intersections, have Property E. Using this result, we derive that outer automorphism groups of polygonal products of four polycyclic-by-finite groups, amalgamating central subgroups with trivial intersections, are residually finite.

We show that, for any non-zero integers ${\lambda}$, ${\mu}$, ${\nu}$, ${\xi}$, class-preserving automorphisms of the group $$G({\lambda},{\mu},{\nu},{\xi})={\langle}a,b,t:b^{-1}a^{\lambda}b=a^{\mu},t^{-1}a^{\nu}t=b^{\xi}{\rangle}$$ are all inner. Hence, by using Grossman's result, the outer automorphism group of $G({\lambda},{\pm}{\lambda},{\nu},{\xi})$ is residually finite.
