Looks good. How did you do it? (Looks like a perfect job for the Mother's Power Cone)

Looks good. I just polished mine today as well. I used and have been using Blue Magic Polish for a long time with great results.

Same here. On many cars and for a long long time, I like this stuff the best.

What I like!
How could you let those poor things get so dirty in the first place

I keep my tips polished, a quick wipe after every couple of drives... I like them to get noticed.
