Re: Muffler and Exhaust Tips Cleaning
The tips are probably stainless and the muffler is probably galvanizesd. The popular metal polishes will work and we sometimes use barkeepers friend as well. Good luck.

Thanks Natron
Using the polisher will remove the galvanized layer from the muffler and making it more prone to oxidation?

Re: Muffler and Exhaust Tips Cleaning
I would use black heat proof paint on the muffler and simply polish up the tips as best possible. Those aren't chromed or anything meant to have a full polish thus I'd likely leave them if you're not into cutting and attaching a new set on their. The latter would likely run $100 or so.

Don't remove the galvanized layer... I had the same curiosity once upon a time and thankfully stopped myself before ruining my dang muffler. Lol.

Agree but I'd probably hit everything including the tips with high temp silver. Nice thing is that you can always hit it again if it starts to look bad.
