Maintenance of 4 Chrome Exhaust Tips

These things get black and nasty very fast. Previous owner never cleaned them so I am having issues getting them back to normal. Any tips on cleaning and maintaining them?

Brasso.....I had the same problems.....but no more. Brasso is fabulous for that.

And don't use any aluminum wheel cleaners like mothers.....it will scratch them up badly.

Fine copper wool and any metal polish will do. I've used chemical guys metal polish and fine copper woodland the black stuff disappears. Not here to shill CG but I would assume any metal polish would work. You just can't use harsh abrasives so the fine copper wool is a must

A fine steel wool will clean them up in a second.
