Make titanium tips blue again? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hey I have the invidia q300 with titanium blue tips. They have faded over time and has lost its blue and purple color. I tried polishing them with some car detailer and a little bit of the blue color came back. What is the best way to restore them to make them colorful again like when I first bought it. Is there a certain product I can use to clean or polish them?

It is also a good way of confirming they are actually titanium! I tried this with some supposed titanium tips on a buddy's car once.

Oh wow I wasn't really trying to play with fire. Lol I was hoping there was something I could use to just polish it back to new to bring the color back

Why isn't it blue? If it's dirty, clean/polish. But if it's heat cycled out (if for someone reason things get hot enough)... you need heat again.
Probably easier to buy replacement tips.

Word of advice, not real titanium. Just torch it and get the blue.

But don't get carried away with the heat or you will have an art project instead of tips!

You can not polish them back to blue. Polish will reduce/remove blueing. Heat is the only way back.
