Blue magic. Use a sock (yes, a sock, use an old one ) so it's like a glove when applying and rubbing. Then use a micro fiber towel to wipe off.

would you recommend a sock as well? I've never heard that... only terry cloth or steel wool.

Socks work great. Use enough of them.

Old clean socks or a clean microfiber towel would do, u only need a tad bit of the compound to polish each tip of your exhaust, . One jar will last you for several years.

Default metal polish

I've always had great results with Flitz. Works great!

good choice, u can't go wrong with either one. blue magic seems to make the shine new again. i used turtle wax and mother's brand which did the job for me and was on sale. now i don't use em because of my CF tips!

I found that Meguiar's NXT Generation All Metal Polysh works the best and goes on easy. It's been discontinued and could only be bought on the web site and eBay.
