Clean "burnt" tips

I recently put an <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" /><st1:State w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">ARK</st1lace></st1:State> exhaust system on my car, it has the burnt tips… I was wondering what product people use to clean it… I do not want to remove the “blueish” color just want to clean and make the exhaust shine? I used to use the Sonex wheel cleaner (worked on the stock exhaust tips well) but I noticed when I tired to do the same with my new exhaust I am discoloring the blue tips…. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

Get some super degooper, it'll get it off. I was amazed how clean it was getting my tips and then it noticed it was getting some of the blue off and stopped.
