Polished my tips

[Reddwarf]

Sounds kind of nasty. Maybe it’s just me being a dirty old man.

Anyway, the exhaust tips had a lot of grit, tar, grime, and even some paint spots. I tried several ways to clean them. I tried some paint thinner and Bug and Tar remover. The paint thinner did little. The bug and tar remover with some elbow grease helped a lot, but not enough. So I had an epiphany from cleaning pots and pans. I mixed up a slurry of Bar Keeper’s Friend and water. I used an old tooth brush and scrubbed away. Then, I rubbed on Mother’s Mag & Aluminum polish.

Is there a better polish to use for these tips? I think they are steel, not aluminum but I’m not sure. I’m not looking to make them bright, just clean and provide protection for easier cleaning.

The Meguiars NXT All Metal Polysh works very well if you have not tried it yet.

Everytime I polish the tips, I get slapped
