Default Cleaning Stainless Tips

Does anyone know how to clean up some stainless steal tips that have a little spots of surface rust and have a dull cloudy finish over the years. I just got one welded up and havn't gotten to get the other one put on yet. I can't wait to hear what my produmps sound like with tips.

Easy Off oven cleaner or Wheel cleaned that has a high content of acid in it (ones designed only for aluminumwheels), and if they are satin finish you could use steel wool along with the Easy Off or wheel cleaner.

ok, I will have to try the steel wool first to get rid of the small rust spots that are showing up. Being stainless steel it should be pretty easy.

Being stainless steel im surprised you even have rust, i didn't think stainless could rust. I've always used NeverDull or Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish on mine, comes out nice.
