Question Tail pipes (Cleaning/StainlessSteal/Renntech)

SO I have a great deal of trouble cleaning my exhaust tips, they turn black so quickly, what to do? (Method?/Product?) I'd considered getting the RENNTech stainless steal ones, would they just wipe clean? or maybe stay clean? any advice?

I ended up getting a Mother's Powerball Mini attachment and their metal polish to polish the inside of the exhaust tips (I did use just plain soap and warm water to clean them first). I got tired of doing it by hand...

I've used a Scotch Brite cleaning pad in combination with a little metal polish with excellent success. It's not as abrasive as steel wool, but gets the job done.

After you get them cleaned, buncha good suggestions above, seal them with some wax or wheel sealer. Much easier to clean for the next month or so.

That was good, I have motherball, I am just using soap or wheel cleaner, so metal polish is something I haven't done, I will do that.
