Stainless exhaust tips

Anyone have a suggestion for cleaning/bringing back the 'newish' look for brushed stainless exhaust tips? I have the Ark GRiP catback, which is a beautifully designed and fabricated exhaust system, but the tips are starting to look a bit discolored. Not looking to polish for a chrome look, just something that will freshen them up. TIA! :cheers:

0000 steel wool.

Never Dull

borla 4.5" tips double layer....
cut your tip and weld this...

I usually just wipe mine down with my dirtiest microfiber cloth at the end of washing my car. I didn't seem many other good responses here so I thought I'd chime in. It is usually dirty with soot again in a day or two

I tried the Never Dull, works well.

Just 0000 steel wool and metal polish after.

Use them together. Apply some metal polish of choice and rub it with the steel wool. This works amazing on any metal you are wanting to shine. Except new chrome!

This is actually exactly how I do my tips. I used to do it all the time on my truck, but on the stang I rarely do it cause I can't properly reach the entire tip around the valance holes.

I just hit them with wheel cleaner when I am at the wheel stage, works like a charm.
Like previously posted, I use the microfiber towels that are on their way out.

Autosol paste. A bit of elbow grease. That is all.

Mother's mag & aluminum polish.

This stuff is the best metal polish since the original formula "Wax Shop Cam Metal Polish", Wax Shops latest Cam polish sucks...imho

"blue magic" did wonders on my muffler tips. I gave it a quick 5 min half ass cleaning and they came out pretty damn good.
