Or if you're not into the black painted exhaust tips, chrome cleaner/polish works well too....just do it every time you wax the car.

How long does it take to paint them? Or is the powder coat?

It takes about 2hr to do it, masking and prep takes the longest time, as well as dry time. This is painted, not powder coat, we use a German Matte black paint called SaBesto, only the best.

I like the chrome look better, I just wipe mine down every couple of days, not hard at all, and looks good

LOL, C'mon I'm not that lazy. The tips are prepped properly to make sure there is proper adhesion for long lasting durability. Chrome vs black? it's totally a personal choice, what is right for some is not right for others, for me? I like the black, some like it some don't but I'm okay with that, it just shows we all have different tastes.
