look up nevr-dull or white diamond metal polish

+ a little elbow grease and you'll be golden.

Seriously, I use this stuff even on glass. Just used it today on some exhaust tips.

Autosol metal polish works a treat for me.

Polish works well, I heard tooth paste works as well and gave it a try, it does but kind of annoying to clean up but it does work

I have the Invidia Q300 with SS Tips.

I'm not sure how well the pictures will turn out after upload, but it cleans the Exhaust really well.

Can all that stuff be used for N1's with Titanium tips??

I too will vouch for the nevr dull. Great for exhaust and even will remove tar from rims with little effort.

Told ya. Nevr-dull works. I'd make sure to take a clean microfiber or terry to your tips afterwards though as it can leave a white residue that can end up on your diffuser or valence if you aren't careful.

You can find it wal-mart as well. Surprisingly, right next to all the other car-car stuff.

Yep, I always wipe it down afterwards, forgot to mention that part lol.

have you tried #0000 steel wool? PM me if you have questions

zooki 09-07-2013 01:07 AM

+1 on the steel wool. Then I use use a good metal polish after that.

Clembo 09-07-2013 08:03 AM

Believe it or not I use Meguiars Scratch X, works great on Stainless steel. Key is not to let them get too crappy in the first place. A good wipe-down now and then really helps.
