Default Exhaust tips tarnished and blackened.

Anyone recommend a good metal polish that removes all the crud (I even think there were some rust spots...)?

Thanks.

I have always used a stuff called Met-All. I have it for a long time so I am not sure where I got it from. It is a marine/aircraft stainless and aluminum polish, but it also can be used for chrome. It is gentle, cleans great and protects.

Default MAAS

I've used this metal polish called "MAAS" with great success. It is difficult to find, though. Last tube I bought was from a place here in Powell, Ohio called Auto Assets.

Hmm... these specialty products maybe really hard to get where I am... Any recommendations for something more accessible? e.g. autoglym or meguire's etc.?

Check the instructions for the right applications....it should be on the website. Pep Boys carries it.
