Default polished my tips
The tips on my exhaust were full of carbon buildup so I asked on the forum where I got the pipe and they recommended Cape Cod metal polish.. at first I used it on a small sample area.. and I was amazed so I gave the tip on the right a light cleaning and took a pick to show the before..


The tin comes with several pouches filled with the polishing cloths. Simple to use, just put on the supplied gloves, open the pouch and lightly rub the tarnished areas first.. and later polish to a shine with the provided cloth or do as I did with and old rock concert T-shirt (AC / DC)...:headbang:

took around 1/2 an hour to do the three tips.. here's the after photo:


do you think they will use my photo in their marketing?
