Came across an EXCELLENT product to clean your exhaust tips with.

It's Eagle One Nevr Dull Wadding Polish.

I have some VERY dirty exhaust tips. In fact, never really cleaned them since I bought my 2011 MINI back in April of last year.

Used some of the wadding polish and they are just like new.

 

+1 on this stuff. used this on some old slotted mag wheels years ago. They were oxidized very badly but with a fair amount of scrubbing this stuff shined em up real nice!

 

Exactly, put little effort into the scrubbing and it's like new again. +1 indeed.

Was just the thing to have when I was bringing my 1978 Yamaha SR500 back to shiny-new. Shine that aluminum (and there was a bunch!).

That, and classic Simichrome, which I used after for just a bit more lustre.

 

Great stuff. Use it on my Harley's alum. wheels.
I'll have to try it on my exhaust tips as well.

 

How much? I've been using Bar Keepers Friend with great results for quite a while.

 

Like $6 a can at Advance Auto Parts. Goes a long ways.
Pull off a piece of the cotton stuff and rub. On chrome it doesn't
really turn black but on aluminum it turns black. Works on both.
Afterwards just buff it and apply some wax.

 

Funny! We've been using this stuff in the military for years once we rid ourselves of Brasso. Use it on shining uniform items, brass on doors, and chrome in order to clear on-post housing.
