Best way to clean exhaust tip help!
What do you guys use to make your exhaust tips looking new? Even after a regular wash my exhaust tips look nowhere close to how they originally did. What can I do to really get them looking just about brand new looking again?

I use wheel cleaner, but to make it really sparkle in the sun you would need some metal polish.

About 15 years ago, I started buying this stuff for cleaning my motorcycles. It's good for paint, chrome, glass, plastic, etc. I once took a chance on my tailpipes (because I was out of any other products). It worked so well that I've been using it for the tailpipes ever since. |

4/0 (0000) steel wool. I spray a little of Adam's detail solution on them and then wipe them with the steel Wool, then dry them. Look like new each time.

Thanks everyone. I’m going to try steel wool and polish which I can get at Walmart and see how well it works.

I use Eagle One Wadding Polish. You can get it at many places(some Walmarts), and a can will last years. It's is a wool like pad with polish in it. It removes rust from stainless steel very well also.

By far the easiest product to use in my experience. It will leave a slight oil residue that you simply wipe off.

If you left it haze first it will leave a better shine IME, like an old school wax does.

As mentioned above, cone polishing pad with a heavy duty cordless drive. I use an 18V Makita cordless drill with a Mequiars cone pad and some metal polish. I have been using the Mequiars metal polish that came with my pad, works well. I also have their cone pad spray cleaner, cleans the cone up real nice, but make sure you do that outside, stuff stinks big time!
