Exhaust Tip Cleaning
My OEM exhaust tips need a good cleaning. What tips and tricks will do the job? Any particular cleaner would work better than others?

On my bike I use bar keepers friend, don't see why it wouldn't work on a car exhaust.

I just Marine polish that I got off Amazon. It works fantastically on my Fast Intentions tips.

I use very fine steel wool + chemical guys degreaser (comes in a purple solution that you have to dilute first). This works VERY well and removes the carbon buildup with some light elbow grease. Tips come out shiny after

Is this for the inside or the outside of the tips?

My exhaust tips never get super dirty as I clean them every time I wash the car, but I always use windex and microfiber towel and that seems to do the job pretty good.

+1 on Eagle One Never Dull. It also leaves the surface feeling like it's got a coat of wax on it.
