Remember if your tips are really dirty (baked on carbon) you will need the sanding sponge to remove the build up, then finish the tips off with the Eagle One's Nevr-Dull for nice shine.

I use the buffing wheel attached to a drill for my Nissan's exhaust.

This might be a stupid question, but do you clean the tips with them in place, or do you somehow remove them from the bumper for cleaning?

Too much of a hassle to take them off, you can do it with them on, however if you're using the sanding sponge be careful not to sand your bumper.

I used scotch brite, but it didn't get as clean as Tee's with foam sander. I'll give this a shot. It looks like it'll do a better job.
Thanks Tee!

I use the same stuff. It works rally well. The key is to not let it get to bad .

Very fine wet/dry sandpaper worked fine for me. Took only minutes. Look in the body repair section of your local auto parts store

You have remove the bumper to remove the exhaust tips.

The sanding sponge will remove the baked on caked up carbon, to avoid sanding your bumper put painters tape around but you can free hand it if you are careful. Once you get them clean hit with the Nevr-Dull and stay on top of them so they don't get in bad shape, like I8ABMR said that is key and makes cleaning them cake!

I didn't see this thread when it was first posted. I could have saved you guys a lot of grief. I no longer use any abrasive on any polished surface, although the exhaust tips are not that visible so its not a big deal. The product you need is Wham Bam. I know what you thinking, forget the name, use it and watch the results.

I have had several Harley motorcycles. If you ever look at the exhaust pipes on any motorcyle, right where the pipe starts at the head and at least for several inches down you will see heat discoloration (unless of course there's a chrome outer shell). About 12 years ago at Laconia (NH) Bike Week I saw a guy who had a vendor booth demo this product on a bike. He rubbed this product on the exhaust pipes and after repeated applications the heat discoloration came right off. I would have bet a year's pay you couldn't remove that discoloration. I had tried everything with absolutely no results. Even though I saw it with my own eyes I didn't believe it. I was thinking maybe it was a set up and the other guy with the bike was a shill.

I told the guy I didn't believe it and he invited me to bring my bike over. I did and he rubbed this Wham Bam product on one of my exhaust pipes. It took a while. He didn't have to rub hard, but he did have to rub repeatedly. Sure enough the heat discoloration was gone. I still didn't believe it and thought the discoloration would come right back. Well it didn't and I have been a loyal customer ever since. I've since used this on some badly discolored home heat registers with excellent results (and this was after a professional couldn't do anything with them and various other metal polishes didn't work).

I have bought this at bike shows (only a couple times because a bottle will last a long time if you are just doing occasional small jobs). However, here is their website - http://thepabamguy.com/. The product you want is the WhamBAM All Metal Polish.

I know this probably sounds like a sales pitch, but I have no financial interest in the company. It is simply the most extraordinary metal cleaner I have ever seen.
