exhaust tip cleaner
ive got a borla ss exhaust. last weekend during my half @ss cleaning, i tried to scrub the tips to no avail. they still looked pretty dirty. what is a good cleaner to use? i forgot to ask the people at pep boys when i was picking up some more maguires. ive got some ss polish for silver ware. . .just a thought.

You know, I've been meaning to try something but just haven't had a chance. Back when I had more time to shoot my revolvers, I used to have a mess with thick carbon buildup at the front of the cylinders. I tried everything, but without much success, to get that stuff cleaned off of those stainless steel parts. Then I bought this special cleaning cloth called "Lead Away" that worked like absolute magic! I'm thinking it will just excellent for cleaning up exhaust tips and such.
Soon as I can make a path through the workroom to my gun cleaning rack, I'll find some of that stuff and give it a try. Then I'll let you know.....

I us Nevr-Dull on the titanium tips and I think it does a great job. It comes in a can and is a damp cotton wadding. It can be bought at most any Advanced Auto or like store as well as many other metal polishes that seem to work well .........Tom

Ya know, I entered this post to suggest "Never Dull" although, I haven't tried it for myself, we used it in the Navy quite a bit.
I've got a can in the shead (it's been there for a year or so), think i'll give it a shot!

You know, I may have to pick up a can of that Nevr-Dull stuff. Maybe I could rub it on my own head when I am having a dumb day....

Go to Nakidparts.com and look at the stainless steel polishing kit. It is awesome stuff and not hard to do. He has some cool products for the corvette and is a vendor on Corvette Forum. His splash guards are incredible and awesome as well. I hope this helps. Mark
