black chrome muffler tip tips? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I've got the mxp black chrome tips and despite polishing they continue to be a PIA to keep looking decent. They did well for a few months but now have become quite time consuming. Has anyone found a method to keep them looking good which doesn't require constant polishing?

Weekly cleaning and add something like a sealant. I usually use a dilluted APC that I use with wheels.

Could also be the quality of the tips. Some metals are easier to keep clean than others.

Use Mothers metal polish to speed up the process of cleaning

I'll give that metal polish a try. If anyone can recommend a specific sealant, I'm all ears.

Any sealant you use would need to be one designed/able to hold up under high temps like a wheel sealant or Finish Kare's High Temp Paste Wax.

Before going to the Mother's metal polish mentioned earlier, you might want to try Eagle One Nevr-Dull. The wadding in those cans polishes and cleans up tail pipes pretty nicely without getting as aggressive as the Mother Polish. P21 Polishing Soap might be another option too.

I always start with the Nevr-Dull and move up to the Mother's if needed.
