Default Polishing Exhaust Tips

What's the best way to polish your exhaust tips. I have a lot of black on the tips of my Borla's and would like to get it off and shine them up for summer!

Clean well with a good all purpose cleaner cut about 10:1 with water.
I like "Blue Magic Metal Polish" best of the three or four products I've tried.

OMG go out on the web and buy the ZOOPSEAL kit. Its lie 200 bucks but youll never have to do it again. Its a huge assortment of chemicals that most harley guys use to keep chrome and metal clean.

I think its guaranteed for many years if I remember correctly

Keep a good coat of whatever wax you use on your tailpipes. This will make it easier to keep them looking good.

Even though they are Stainless Steel, I use Turtle Wax Chrome Polish in the little white bottle. Spread it on, and buff it off - great results on all of my Fox 5.0 LX stainless tips as well as my S-281 center tips.
