Don't use any metal polishing compound. If you do you will remove the burnt tip look. (It can be added again with a blow-torch.)

Also if you polish titanium it will look good only for a short while due to the softness of the material. You will end up needing to polish them monthly. If you need to clean the tips try using WD-40.

Awesome. Thank you. I would've made a huge mistake.
