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

How Dull?
I have used never dull for many decades. You need to pick the right spot to use it. The product is a bit abrasive and will cause swirl scratches. I would prefer to use chrome cleaner as it's less abrasive. Once the tips have blackened it's really a job to bring them back to a bright shine. Never Dull will work, but you'll need to use something else to get the scratches out after you're done. I might suggest you use one of the watery type aluminum cleaners that are on the market.
