Default magnaflow tips

Does any one know how to keep magnaflow tips nice and shiny? I have magnaflow tips on my stang and i'm having a heck of a time trying to keep the tips--on the bottom where the drain hole is--from getting black all the time. It does wipe off but is there something I can do to get rid of that? Thanxs for any help you can give me.

if theyre chrome tips just buy some wax made for chrome and put that on there, that might help keep the black from sticking to the tips. Other than that, just keep wiping it off.

I wash my car with ZipWax car wash, put some directly on the sponge, put it on the tips of your exhaust, it'll leave a nice shine and makes that dirt wipe off real easy everytime you wash your car, also try Eagle One Never Dull. Its a chrome polish, come sin a tin, works great!

Mothers makes a good wax for chrome and looks great too. Hey never dull is bad for chrome. Puts micro fine scratches in the chrome which will make it rust quicker....

Thanks alot for the responses. Am I the only one that has a problem with the chrome getting black like that or is that normal? What I'm looking for is something that will put a coating on the chrome so that the next time I have to wipe it off it will come off right away with hardly any or no scrubbing--sort of like Emann0007 said-- but not eagleone never dull. No offence Emann0007 but I heard bad things also about never dull too. I do appreciate your help though.

I had a problem with O2 sensors and that made my tips and my bumper black.. Its from your car running too rich. Should get it checked out. You lose HP running too rich.

my dad and his neighbor both use never dull on their motorcycles (lots of chrome) and it works fine. *shrug*
