AWE Chrome Tip Cleaning

[badger91]

Hi All! I have AWE exhaust on my Audi and historically I could get the tips looking like new with the recommended Palmolive cleaning. Last spring that didn’t work so I used WD-40 to get them looking new. Now today I’m detailing my car and neither work. Apparently they’re coated with something so AWE doesn’t recommend polishes of any sort. Any recommendations?

If they are indeed chrome, I don't see why Mother's chrome, Never Dull or if it's really bad #0000 steel wool would not work.

I use P21S Polishing Soap for cleaning
mucked-up chrome tips.

Afterwards, for protection, I’ll apply a coat
of either Simichrome or Collinite #850.

You think that would do the trick on my tips? Or should I go with a metal polish? AWE sells a tip cleaning solution but who knows if that will even work. AWE's Fantastic Tip Tonic | AWE

Was just going to edit my post to include P21S Polishing Soap.

Should I not worry about them saying to not use ‘abrasives’? Not entirely sure if they’re pitted or if that’s just build up.

IIRC P21S polishing soap is not abrasive.

I think they’re actually pitted. iCloud

It's from using AWE polish!

Lol I only used Palmolive and WD-40. Assuming I have to wet sand or use 0000 steel wool?
