Stainless Steel bbq wipes. Then a quick polish once done with paper towel. Two wipes per cleaning. They look so shiny after if the sun hits them you’re going to need shades. 3 minutes, all 4 done.

The factory stainless cleans up nicely with a drill attachment foam tip and some polish.

super fine steel wool and metal polish is what I have used on my regal exhaust tips and works better than anything else, NEVR DULL included as thats what I used to use

I also use super fine steel wool (0000). I have used it on the chrome on my nova and it works great.

I did the same thing. mother polish on drill attachment. I then ceramic coated the tips.

E85 and catch can and I hardly get any residue and it usually wipes right off when I wash my car.

That's good Alas, E85 is nearly unobtainium here in NJ, one or maybe two pumps in the entire state, so I haven't even thought of a flex fuel kit.

Purple power, yes the oil degreaser is what I use. As long as the build up isn’t very thick it works wonders. Just spray and let it sit for a couple mins on a cool exhaust then clean with your favorite soap and water and sponge. Also I hope it goes without saying, but use a different bucket, different sponge and soap then what you used to wash your car. Because it will strip the wax if you do.

I second the Mother's Mag & Aluminum.

I use two crappy microfibers: one to clean, one to finish them off.

I wiped mine out with brake clean and hit them with mag wheel polish. It took 5 minutes to make them shine again

Brake Klean or other metal cleaner, then Sprayway SW945 Silicone Spray, which makes the next few cleanings much easier
