Chrome Polish

Guys my exhaust tips after the winter have lost that sparkling chrome finish. They arent like completely dull but they arent as shiney as I would like them to be. Any recomendations for something to bring back that mirror look? thanks!

What you really want is Optimum (OPT) Metal Polish


This stuff is excellent. I used it on my rims and exhaust tips after the long harsh salty winter. I know this may sound stupid but following up with Poorboy's World Wheel Sealant on the exhaust tips is a good idea after using the Optimum Metal Polish to polish your exhaust tips. The reason being said is cause Poorboy's World Wheel Sealant was made for rims cause it can withstand high heat from the brakes. Exhaust tips get badass hot when the vehicle is in operation, so I found Poorboy's Wheel sealant to be the best for even exhaust tips. This is a better alternative than using regular paint sealant and wax on it since these were not made to withstand high heat like wheel sealant is. After polishing them following up with protection is always a good rule of thumb

Completely agree! But once you use the Nevr Dull, wipe off the exhaust tips with a clean cloth because excess polish will leave a hazy residue on the tips. Then they'll look good and shiny.
