Turtle waxes chrome polish is pretty good stuff as far as OTC goes for me. Works really well IMO

What are the exhaust tips made of?

Chrome, stainless, polished aluminum, carbon fiber?

Might as well just suggest the appropriate Mothers metal polish.

I'd be interested in a product for Stainless, like the exhaust on a Corvette.

0000 steel wool and the correct metal polish is indeed best advice.

More important that suggesting a product would be knowing what the tips were made of, so folks could make a proper recommendation.

I use Megs' Mag & Aluminum Polish on my stainless steel tips.

Because stainless is so hard (compared to aluminum), you'll need lots of speed on a drill to achieve good polishing with an aluminum polish.

You'll want a fairly aggressive foam as well.

I used both Mother's Mag+Alum polish along with Megs metal polish and some 000 steel wool on my stainless steel custom exhaust and it polished it up very very well. I worked by hand so it didn't produce a mirror shine, but it removed the discoloration and general tarnish.

For detailing chrome exhaust tips, my favorite go to product has been Mother's Chrome polish just because it is super easy to use and leaves a great finish without needing to use steel wool (just MF).

The little tubs of Mothers metal polishes are great.
